Hey hey :)
I used to own a little BBS, and I got carried away with doing my own
ANSi's, but that was a looooong time ago. Just this very morning I
discovered newsgroups (I'm usually pro BBS's, and anti Internet I'm
afraid!), so I thought I might see if I can get into ascii. It looks
great fun!
Plus (which is a big plus), you guys seem really friendly so far,
which is rare on the newsgroups from what I've seen =) so I thought
'why not!?'. You'll probably wish me gone after this, but let's see if
I improve with time!
So here's a few of my little doodles to amuse..
-------------
Someone requested a Pacman to go with their ghost? Well I suggest you
look elsewhere, because this one isn't any good! :))

Face over a brick wall.
This is NOT done by me,
but it is most definately
the original ascii in my
eyes, and my fave! :)

Well, I think you guys are
great, so a big thumbs up
to the lot of you!

Infact, have a soda and
fries! Or just have a
load of strange characters
that faintly resemble them :)

Oh dear oh dear, why do I bother? Well I find it fun to do them. If
anyone has any tips to help me along, it might help others enjoy my
squiggles as much as I do :) My major problem is I don't have the
patience or skill to sit infront of an object and copy it in ascii, it
takes a lot of work!
Well, keep it up guys, I've seen some very impressive works on here
already, and that's in one day! Take care,
(eeew need a new sig)
