Back from easter vacation :)

Hi all!

Just returned from my skiing-holiday this easter, and I found this newsgroup
filled with Z and Q art. Thanks to everyone that posted! (Interesting toilet
queue thread :))

Some of the art is already up in the 'Recent additions' section and will soon
be sorted.

Also thanks to everyone who rated my site, except for Brett who - by giving
me a rating of 1 - knocked me down from my number 6 position on the ranking
:/ Oh well, that's life. I've got 43 votes so far, and that's pretty good.

Here's another voting system that I'm in, it is purely based on votes (no
ratings) so you click if you like my site, otherwise don't.

(hey, I'm already at the top....must be a pretty new system ;)

Also, I've got a few great awards (rated 4.5 and 4.0 (out of 5) on FOCUS
award sites) for Wicked Ascii Art, including the second Elite Web Elegance
award given out ever! (read the great review :)

And you should know...my 21 awards look pale next to your 200-something awards

They get the word out about ASCII art.
I know how I felt when I first saw the text
graphics...  there are lots of people out there
that still haven't found alt.ascii-art... and plenty
who think ASCII art is dull.  I think they just
haven't seen any good pictures.  So keep
up the award applications.  It can only make
cyberspace more aware of what we are doing.

>(how do you have time to do all that stuff? With kids and all I mean...)

Kids? oh yeah, them.  LOL    I find that I get
the most accomplished when I am the busiest..
Today, the kids are on spring vacation-- we
went to a movie, out to lunch, played at the
beach (Lake Erie -brrr), went kite flying, and then
out to Chuckie Cheese for play and pizza.
I don't ignore them...  They are in bed now-
and I just finished a new ASCII pic:

    Yes, I think you should. This maiming of a poor, helpless animal are shameful.
I simply cannot believe, hon, that you would actual post this here be-headed
dawg, as if you was proud of it. Such handiwork, indeed!

.... Jus' how many of these here dawgs have you done chopped up? You ever make
dawg chile? Cats is only good fer tamales, but there is several uses for dawg.
