Help with my handwriting

Help with my handwriting

alt.ascii-art · 2 messages · 6 Aug 1997 - 8 Aug 1997
Hi everyone,

I've been trying to make an ascii-art of my name in my handwriting (like 
a "signature").  I've been working at it a while now, and I'm struggling 
a little.  Maybe you guys can help me out.

Here's what I have so far:

        _,.,_                     _
 ,__.-"T     ',"\   r.           ; |  .-,           ,-.
       |  .-, I I  i I           I I  i I          ;  j
      _|_:-"  I/   I/  ,         I/   I/  ,        : /
    ,' I `--"^I\^-^I\'"        "^I\~-~I\'"        -|{_.-
   ;   I      I I  I |           I I  I )            \
   :  d       `-'  `"            `-'  `"             j
    ^~                                             `^
        _,.,_
 ,__.-"T     '
       |      ,"\   r.
       |  .-, I I  i I
      _|_:-"  I/   I/  ,
    ,' I `--"^I\^-^I\'"
   ;   I      I I  I |
   :  d       `-'  `"
    ^~

The only letter I'm really satisfied with is the "e"   As you can see, I
made a bunch of different "f"s to get one to look more like my
handwriting.  When I write my name, the letters lean to the right a
little.  That's what I was trying to do on the last "f" in the first line
up there.  But I couldn't get the bottom to look right.  Also, on the "J",
I'm not overly thrilled about the "d" that I put in the bottom loop, but
it was the best I could come up with.  I also wasn't sure which looked
better, the top "Jeff" is taller, but the cross-bar on top kind of runs
into the top of the "f".  I need help! :)

Any suggestions or re-doodles would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

Well, it looks like you've done quite a nice job on your own.  I've rediddled
this a bit...I'm not sure if it makes it any better or if it just looks dottier.

 If you stare really hard at this .signature, the words will resolve themselves
into a map showing you where your lost car keys are.  Yet another fine service
