The Gallery of Ascii Artists is always a bit of an arbitrary and
pragmatic lottery in which I make the rules up as I go along and
change the rules according to my whims and fancies.

It isn't an "Official Gallery" but just a project that I started
that seems to have gained popularity and continued interest. I
don't think there should be any strict or set rules about
inclusion/non-inclusion...it's a fun thing really!

I first started compiling the Gallery when Daniel Au introduced his
Net Surfers Licence and I used those pictures plus any others that
were available from other sources.

Eventually comments were made that some of these people included in
the Gallery had only done that one self-portrait and no other
pictures. So I purged a lot of those portraits and intended to
compile a separate " Ascii Self Portraits " file which would include
all self-portraits including those "recognised as ascii artists" on
the basis of their works.

Also note that only a very few of the ascii artists whose names I
have listed have done self-portraits.

Again those listed names are my personal list and there is no
certainty that everyone appears there even though they may have made
a reasonable number of ascii pictures.

So what criteria do I use?  When does a newsgroup reader become an
Ascii Artist?

I tend to use the criteria that the person must have posted quite a
reasonable number of their original pictures over a reasonable
period of time on the newsgroup. I decide what is "reasonable".
Do diddles count?  I'm not sure.  :-)

In your particular case I know Matthew THomas primarily as the New
FAQ author/maintainer.  Please excuse me if I cannot remember a lot
of pictures by you to date.

If the person offering a self-portrait is happy with their 
submission, provided it is a human ( llizard finally gained an 
exception to that rule ) then I include it in the Gallery during a 
future update in the newsgroup...or alternatively I'll add it to my 
"Self-portrait File"...provided that I like you of course!  

Most ascii artists don't stay very long in the newsgroup. Some re-
emerge but they soon depart again and do not add much to their 
artwork. I guess enthusiasm wanes as the novelty wears off or some 
people get very upset at things that happen in the newsgroup and go 
off in a huff never to return.  

Now then...all that wordy text...and no pictures?  Grrrr!  :-(

I made this likeness of myself and Todd for our newsletter. I don't
like it. I'm hoping it will grow on me. Todd really likes it and uses
if often, so I see it quite a bit. I don't use it myself. Actually, Im
looking at it now and cringing as I push 'send now'.
