The only definitive posting from Mike Rosulek, that I have in
my collection, specifically referring to his Nika the Cat creations,
is as follows:

Yes folks, it's Nika!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, my cat Nika has been
meticulously drawn on my computer. Now, the experts' many hours of
drawing are paying off for you! Now you too can see the one and only
Nika in this special edition USENET post. Here it is, the moment we've
all been waiting for...

 Nika is sleepy

Do you like them? I'll post back when I draw some more. I already made
an animation with Nika, and I'll post that soon. "Nika stalks the mouse"
would make a nice sig pic or sig blank (hint, hint). If you're
wondering, I really do have a cat named Nika.

L8r,
Mike

He was posting under the Account Name of Andy Rosulek at that time
and I suspected Andy was his brother or relative allwoing Mike to
use his account...but that is pure speculation.


Mike Rosulek also did a Self-Portrait for the Gallery of Ascii Artists
and he says he based his work on Normand Veilleux's style:


====================================================================

From: una...@sfa.ope.ed.gov (Mike Rosulek)

I drew this by using Normand V.'s technique: copying my picture onto a grid
of letters, and drawing the characters where they should be onto the same
grid on the screen. Very nice technique; I like the results.

====================================================================

Mike is possibly traceable through his email address...and if so he
mught possibly respond to requests to use both "Nika" and his own name in
any Sigs people care to make.


At least we have some background on Mike & Mika which is more than
we often have to trace and contact posters.
