I came across my first post to alt.ascii-art while
I was looking for Valkryies pictures. Since most of my early
pictures are packed away on my old '486, it was interesting
to find my early pics again.

So Excuse the long post.. its the majority of my work!

They are pretty much in the chronological order that I posted
them. The last two being my first ever ascii pics that I drew
in 1996.

[snipped the whole nice post]

Long posts like this are very much "excused". Damn good
pictures. I miss your little dragon sig, which is one
of the best sigs I have ever seen. Also little Yoda
still makes me green with envy:

Thanks a lot for posting this! Actually I didn't know all
of your drawings. My newsserver isn't holding posts in a.a-a
long enough I guess. I always miss some now and then. I should
use google more often, yes.

:)
