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 ? :-) ____|_____ ||||| /| \ ||||| / | \|||||/ | ~---, ha (-O,O-) | \_,^%--- ha \_C_/ | /> \ ha __|__ | ___/ > _/_____\__|_ (# o) > But maybe nobody likes to put that /|\ '-~ /|^^ into the gallery because I'm not / | \ ejm97 | \ smiling in that photo. llizard aka ejm 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 ? Bye,
