talk: who's who of ascii

i think we need a who's who list.  past, present, and up and coming future
asici artists.  something to break up the monotony.

either a who's who list or vote for your favorite ascii artist.

well, i have 2 favorite ascii artists.  philip kaulfuss and allen mullen.
allen mullen has his own unique style while using gifscii to produce some
amazing results.  i can't even begin to imagine the stuff he does.  philip
has a similar drawing style like me.  philip uses a lot of letters for their
shapes along with many ' - ` , . _ to make his pictures.  this is something
that philip would make:

         _.-"""""-._ 
       ,' _-"""""-_ `.
      / ,'.-'"""`-.`. \
     | / / ,'"""`. \ \ |
    | | | | ,'"`. | | | |
    | | | | `._.' | | | |
     | \ \ `.___.' / / |
      \ `.`-.___.-',' /
       `. `-.....-' ,'
         `--.___.--'

except he would throw a few f J L Y around to smooth out the rough edges
of the curves.

let's make a list of ascii artist, shall we?

scarecrow (aka the archiver)
colin douthwaite (sp?) (another archiver)
philip kaulfuss (boy genius)
daniel au (haven't seen him in awhile)
valkyrie (lovely e-stamp collection)
lennert stock (weird abstract style.  i like it)
christopher (xopher)  (will make a sig for anyone)
normand veilleux (is he still around?)  i think i saw him awhile back
rowan (is he still around?)
brian odom (i've been away for awhile.  i specialize in logos)
q-ris (whatever happened to him?)
allen mullen (if only someone could program gifscii to emulate allen)
susie oviant (sp?)  this name rings a bell for some reason
james  (another guy who lurks around)

any others?

i know i'm forgetting so many of you.
--
brian odom
oh yeah, forgot all about my guarantee of new ascii art....
here's something cheap.

i'm in indianapolis (GO COLTS), so here's a cheap ascii for you steelers
fans.

                _.--"""""--._  
             ,-"           A "-.
           ,'            ,/ \.  `.
          /             <'   `>   \
         |               `\,/'A    |
        |                  V,/ \.   |
        |  (`i_   |     _  <'   `>  |        
        |  _)L(L(L|(L|`_\  A`\,/'   |
         |               ,/ \.V    |
          \             <'   `>   /
           `.            `\,/'  ,'
             `._           V _,'
                `-.._____..-'  

of course, when i bow down and make a colts ascii, it will rock!

I'm still around, although I zoom through more often than not.  I
haven't posted any of my ASCII art in a while, but I noticed some
of them creep up once in a while.

There is a chance that my account will survive only 2 more months
since my job has been cut.  So, I think I'll try to repost everything
I've ever done in small posts for all to enjoy!  :-)


>rowan (is he still around?)

Rowan Crawford was around only for a few months prior to rec.arts.ascii
existance.  If I remember right, he was borrowing a friend's account
in the end.  Too bad!  His work was really appreciated.

I think that is Susie Oviatt.


>james  (another guy who lurks around)


You should definitely add Tua Xiong to your list.  He has done several
amazing ASCII pictures too.  He's the only ASCII artist I can think of
who is missing (off the top of my head).  But then again I've been told
I had an ASCII brain before, so I am not that great with names!  Just
pictures!!  ;->

James Alan. Might be the name you're looking for. I've seen his work, he 
mostly does letters and stuff that the image isn't defined. He's awesome.... 
IMHO.
