[Pictures] Spunk (Joan Stark) collected works (Part 1)
I am posting this for Joan Stark who has difficulty posting to this
newsgroup. Joan has very kindly agreed to post some of her early work
(some of the stuff she now hates!). I wanted all the people who haven't
had the courage to try their hand at ascii art to get a look at the
development of an ascii artist. I think you will be surprised to find
out what short time she's been doing it.

Believe it or not, I "discovered" ascii art in winter of 1995, started
collecting as much of it as I could, then found out that there was too
much to save, and decided that I would try to make it instead. I began
diddling around with the keyboard in spring of 1996 by doing fonts and
then "discovered" figlets. And I went on to the pictures... I have
about a half of a year under my belt and am looking forward to improving.
I've included some of my early works in this gallery so you can see how
my artwork has evolved. Perhaps I may inspire other budding ascii
artists.... BTW, I still collect ascii! :)
<the first three are what I consider to be my present "masterpieces")

(These next two are categorized together because I made them in the same
manner. I drew a picture on a piece of paper and traced the picture on
a
plastic sandwich bag (a Ziplock, to be exact). I taped the bag to my
monitor and made a rough outline with ascii characters. I took down the
baggie and cleaned up the picture a bit.)
