What do we do when we do ASCII Art?

Hello,
I've been wondering what is the correct (or accepted) verb to describe the
process of producing ASCII art? Is it 'draw' (I *draw* ascii art) or 'write'
(I *write* ascii art) ... ? Both of those sound odd, since it isn't really
drawn because that implies either pencil drawing or in a graphics package,
and writing implies the forming of words, which are very rare in most ascii
pics.
I usually say 'make' or 'produce' (I *make* ascii art) but this is a little
general, so I was wondering if there is a better verb for it?
A lot of us seem to use the term 'asciify' to mean turning something into
ascii art - Maybe 'I asciify' is a good sentence... even if the verb is made
up?
Hmm......
-Martin

Who better to decide this than us. Martin why don't you put up a list of the
common ones and we will vote post. We can all vote on the one we like the
best or even vote on the two we like and do this for a week. Then you can
tally it up and we'll just accept the winner. We've done this before on
things and it worked really well. Martin it was your BRAINSTORM question,
what do you say bro?

I'm sure that before computer graphics packages became popular, 'to draw' implied pencil/pen drawing - now you say it implies pencil/pen or a graphics package. How is a text editor being used to draw ASCII art different to a regular computer graphics package? Apart from that, I think 'create' is also a good one - but then you can 'create' a picture on paper as well as 'draw' one. :) MAtt.

vote... and I'll be counting them up should anyone decide to take part.
Let the voting begin...

You don't really 'draw' and you don't really 'write', I think the correct word is "CONSTRUCT".

Hi everyone. Im on a borrowed computer but its still me here clicking the keys. I was surprised to read about Colin's death. Funny how things happen in three's though. I am here, back in Toronto, for my Grandmother's funeral. She died just after I bused up here from Illinois. I missed seeing her before she died. When I called the boyfriend back in the US, I heard his Aunt had also died the same day, nearly the same time. Colin makes it a threesome. It would be too weird if it wasn't true. :) Anyway, I've just set up Free Agent on my Mother's machine. She is new to the Net and has no clue what she is in for now that I have her ready for the newsgroups. This has become my favourite part of the net, better than the web or email even. :) Hope everyone is doing great. I have no idea when I will be back on my own computer again. Its so nice being on my own, not having to make the bed in the morning or share it at night. I have *space* again!!! LOL (Once again, Im lucky he doesn't read the newsgroups). I usually say I create ascii art. But none of the terms really feel "right". Does anyone have some other fresh idea? It really is a great question. Happy St Patricks Day to all. I don't have any of my ascii art here and there hasn't been time to sit down and work on new art. I would love to see anything for St Patricks Day. My Grandmother was a little Irish "Pepper". With the big Day to be Irish coming up we are all a bit sad to be without "Pepper". Take care, Laura http://members.xoom.com/ldb/ldbascii.htm PS: Thanks to those who posted some of Colins ascii work. Colin would post more of the work he collected than he did of his own. Most of his work was new to me. :) >> Thanks to Donovan for the excellent suggestion...
