Just wondering if it's OK to "pinch" some of the art from this group
to use as my .sig file ?!? As I don't have the talent to create my
own :( ...

it depends.  ask the artist, or the sig owner.

The way I understand it, the ASCII art here is more or less public domain 
unless otherwise specified...  'Course, these are possibly Famous Last Words.

The idea is, though, to steal other art and use it to practice your own.  In 
theory, you'll see some way to do it "better" and eventually go your own way.

Cool...  What's a bollock?  "Never mind the bullocks, here's the...oh, bugger."
