alt.ascii-art
· 2 messages · 23 Nov 2001 - 23 Nov 2001
this is a small 'historic' review on the asciification of myself,
peter marquardt aka lastfuture
this was the first posting of ascii art in this group back in 2000 on
the 17th of july containing my two very first ascii art pieces made
with notepad... back then my sig was still "cos" standing for "cosmo"
:)
1 - my email sig wich was too big but cool :)

posting of original ascii-art by me back in 2000 on the 15th of august

was the birth of mr evil virus as well :))

i was quite sad when nobody replied to this cause i really worked hard
for it. then i left the group alone because nobody really cared for
the cosmo cartoon and i had less and less time to read and post
on the 22nd april in 2001 i returned with this masterpiece of
pure-notepad-ascii-art. unfortunately i never made other characters
than a, c, i, m, n, r, s, and t in this (in my opinion) cool font.. so
nobody ever made a figlet font out of it. note that i had changed my
sig to "lf" by that time
,. .,

after that posting i heard of jave and downloaded it immediately.
with the followup to a request my life suddenly became ascii... i
tried to improve my skills and developed my own style
