I have a picture of a building on my website at:

http://angband.gt.ed.net/~rmboye/tower1.htm


I'm curious if there is somewhere here could create a miniature version
of it, encircled by a border.

Something around the size, or a little larger of this wonderful
medallion I just borrowed from Joan Stark.

            _o8888888o_
         .o888' ...  '888o.
      .o88'  :::;(;:::  '88o.
     ,88'  .::;.) );:::.  '88,
    ,88'  :::;`(,' (,;:::  '88,
   ,88'  :::;;). (, (';:::  '88,
   88'   :::;( ) ; ' );;::   '88
   88    '::;')_,_)_(`;::'    88
   88      '::[_____]::'      88
   88          \_ _/          88
   88           |#|_          88
   88,     __.-'(__ )        ,88
   '88,     '-. \___ )      ,88'
    '88,     _.\_)__ )     ,88'
     '88o,  _   (__ )    ,o88'
       '88o, `'-\#/'   ,o88'
         '888o,_   _,o888'
            '8JGS88888'       jgs


And hey, while anyone's at it, a plain ASCII version of that building a
bit larger than that in the aforementioned requested 'seal' - just an
ASCII picture of it, smaller than 40 lines long would be very very mmuch
appreciated.

You guys make me so jealious. I can draw somewhat but I wish I could do
ASCII art.

Well, it _could_ be a little larger.

Thanks Matthew, if I use the quote, I'll be sure to give Gary Larson the
credit. (I can't believe I haven't seen that one though; I thought I'd
seen and laughed at them all.)

Yes, I did think about that, but it looked a bit flat.

And besides, they're not `fireworks-like things': they're my best
attempt at the clouds and rainbow in the original picture -- it's hard

Sorry about that. Your clouds and rainbow reminded me of the Disney
castle with fireworks.

You're absolutely right; my version does look flat. How about striking a
compromise?

This is a great pic.... but really, there is no
need to add my 'jgs'... I made a border for
the medallian which has since been modified

been offered to me on this picture...
