>Message-id: <364...@news.imaginet.fr> >* Testimony : Why are you fan of Ascii Art ? How long ? Yes, I consider myself a fan of ASCII art... I first saw a few little pics in 1995 and was totally amazed at them. I couldn't believe that people actually made them. (Didn't people have a life??) >* History : do you know when it's begin ? How ? Text-based art has been around for years and years... There are some similarities between ASCII art and teletype pics, typewriter art, ANSI art, concrete poetry, and typography. I have a small collection of information on ASCII art history at my website. I'm still collecting info and have some new things to add... check out: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/history.htm >* Your URL, your best links, and all what you want ;-) My URL: http://www.ascii-art.com/ ASCII Art links: http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/2695/links.htm (this is a pretty large listing of ASCII art sites) >method of creating... I don't use a proggie or special software. I use Windows notepad and create pics freehand, for the most part. Few conversions programs give great results. There is more information on ASCII art-- check out the various FAQs..
