The Artists Gallery I compiled was mainly from Daniel Au's Surfers
Licence and at the outset I decided only to include what seemed to
be real human portraits rather than caricatures...although there are
one or two included that should perhaps be omitted ?

The other parameter I used for inclusion was that the person should
have done some ascii artwork in addition to just the portrait...
although just the ability to do one's portrait might be enough for
inclusion ?  Again...on reflection...there maybe one or two
inclusions of people who have done no ascii artwork other than their
portrait.

I do label my compilation " Gallery of Ascii Artists " so perhaps
a portrait cannot be considered enough...addtionalr works are necessary ?
Exclusions would probably mean dropping some of Daniel Au's Surfers
Licence collection which only called for a self-portrait.

At the end of the Gallery I also list Ascii Artists who have no
self-portrait.

I dunno...decisions, decisions, decisions ?  :-)

If llizard really wants her portrait in the Artists Gallery I guess
the above offering is representative and expressive of her work and
could be the best choice for inclusion ?  It depicts llizard the
artist drawing herself ?
