I'm still here!
I'm a frecuent reader of ascii art group, sadly I'd been seeing how
this newsgroup is getting less popular.
I still remember old times when every day were populated with great
and amazing ascii art.
Like if were yesterday, and talking about Nerd Boy, I did this Fan art
in March 17, 2004:

        And now, With my magic wand
    I'm going to disappear this tulip!
              ,
           OO      U     ..~
          .((./   _|_   .<<.
   ________bb_____\_/____||___________

           OO   \\|||//  ..~
          .((.-'>PLOF!< .<<.
   ________bb___//|||\\__||___________


                c'mon, it is a old trick.
                Can you disappear this building?
                             ,
           OO            --~
          .((./         .<<.
   ________bb____________||___________


   It is a magic wand,
   not an atomic bomb!
              ,
            OO            oo~
           .((./         .<<.
    ________bb____________||___________

  Fan Art: created by Horroroso (-hrr-)
  Nerd Boy, created by Joaquim Gandara (jg)


Nowdays I don't have time to draw new art, I'll try to post my work
again, like a tribute to all those good ascii artists.
One thing has changed, I can understand better the English
language ;-)
