I feel bad just sitting around and watching. Even though pictures aren't
my thing, here is my very first attempt to create images as opposed to
lettering/fonts.
My first picture.

A slight variation., incase the grooves in the above pumkin just weren't
deep enough.

And of course, I had to carve a few pumkins...

Sigh. Well I *tried*.
Where is the appropriate place to discuss ascii fontography (not figlet or
figlet fonts)???
This may be a silly newbie question. (Gee, after all these years, still a
newbie...) why is there a perfectly good newsgroup collecting dust in the
rec.* hierarchy??? It has no spam in the time this group has collected
more than its fair share (although relatively little compared other alt.*
groups)?
Is there a story behind it? Pounting me to a FAQ is a MORE than adequate
response
Thank you very much,
Daniel

I guess the moderators got a little too busy to keep it going. I think Joan or Colin knows the full story. I only managed a few posts before it fizzled last year. While we are taking a trip back in time, these are the first ascii-art I ever posted (which happened to be in rec.arts.ascii) : _ _ /=\""/=\ (=(0_0 |=)__ \_\ _/_/ ) /_/ _ /\ snd |/ |\_||_| \/ /^ ^\ \0 0/ ('V') \ / snd /(_)\ ==/\=/\== _ _ ( )_( ) (0 0) _(o)_ O /\|_|/\/ \( _ ) snd |||| (_)(_) and my first post to alt.ascii-art _________ . .
