Sorry but I cannot quite figure that portrait out. it looks rather 
surrealist unless those are loose strands of long hair or perhaps
dreadlocks trailing from what looks like a bald head or shaven skull
or maybe a cap or hat of some kind.

Do you really want that picture as it stands included in the Ascii
Artist Gallery?  I don't think I'd care to meet you on a dark night,
HeHeHe.

Nope, it's the loose strands of long hair one. It seems just half of
people can't understand it, the other half liking it... so I think I'll
just put it in because I'm on the liking side. :)

What I don't get is this part:

    //.\
    \\ \
    // /
    \\/

It doesn't appear to be of the same "dotty" style as the rest, and I
just can't figure out what it is...

The eyes are obvious (glasses?), and I can see the shape of the head and
the ear. The neck and one shoulder are clear, but the nose and mouth
just don't come through somehow...

He looks like a guy who is bald on top but with a long pony tail
dangling in front. I thought it looked good. Hmmm, maybe I have missed
what that is supposed to be too then. But I thought it was obvious the
first time I saw it.

It looks nice (but I still think the ponytail/tongue/hand part breaks
the style somehow... oh, well, it's your portrait... I'll be quiet...
maybe...)

Like everyone else on the Net I suffer from a newsfeed which is 
frequently flakey and there is no guarantee I will see any postings 
during those times. Some never arrive.  

I do not recall ever seeing that pic before now. Was it posted as a 
self-portrait or just as a pic of a girl's face or part of a Sig?  

She looks remarkably young to have a fiancee and nothing like my 
recently diddled picture of Flump having a hairdo at that popular 
barber's shop. :-)

No, I got it from DejaNews by going into the power search

http://www.dejanews.com/home_ps.shtml

and keying in "hayley portrait" into the 'search for' box and
"alt.ascii-art" in the 'group(s)' box. Here, I'll quote the whole thing.

It was a reply to article <6boqj2$a4o$1...@mnementh.southern.co.nz> on
1998/02/10, in which cfb...@southern.co.nz (Colin Douthwaite) stated:
   
> OK.  If you want your self-portrait to be added to the Gallery of

I just chose to include the smaller of the two because the gallery has

Yep...if that's really your self-portrait I'm sure you will be

Oh, I dunno, when Meindert de Jong came over here about 2 years ago
I had a printed out version of his Gallery portrait for identification
at our first meeting...he was quite amused and took the print back
to Holland with him. :-)

Dear Colin, Yeah that was wonderful two years ago. In March
of this year I visited Christchurch again. I couldn't reach
you via your E-mail address, unfortunately :-(
So I decided to give you a telephone call while at the YMCA.
However, I had no time to contact you since I was too busy.
(Besides I had a flare-up: could hardly walk for a few days.)
It's too bad. I hope there will come a next opportunity.
Perhaps next year or in 2000?
Best wishes,
Meindert

Yes, I had my public address spamblocked last year. Because I do a 
lot of posting to newsgroups I was getting 150 junkmails a month and 
growing fast so the time had come to do something about it. :-( 

I will contact you by private email soon.

Sorry to hear your health condition is still causing lots of 
problems but you did well to make the trip back here and your first
visit must have been successful enough to get a recall to NZ.

Maybe. In the meantime you can always post some pictures here.  :-)

The reason for choosing Amsterdam was the high concentration of artists
in Holland (Joris, Hayley, Meindert, The Dutch Dude and me).

I am, but that's easy for me to say, since I live only 200 km away from
Amsterdam. :)

Sounds OK to me...
When is it "warm" in Amsterdam???

Do we have any travel agents who frequent/
visit/lurk on this NG??

The talk on VK's chat is about a possible
ASCII art convention...  I think it was determined
that the most centralized locale would be
Amsterdam...  perhaps in year 2000???

Who's interested??

on there home-turf.

Warm???
Hmmm... Joan, you've propably never heard that nice weather in holland
is when it's raining warm water   :(

Anyway Amsterdam is a very nice city (beautyfull) even when it's cold.
I'm in love with Amsterdam   :)

Nope, just a little balcony   :(
...and enough space between the computers and the drawing table
to put a mattress if that's what you meant.   :)

Oh, I  know that Holland is not like a
vacation in the Caribbean!  But when is
summer season there?  I wouldn't be
really excited to travel and then get
completely snowed in...  I'd like to see
some of the country and not freeze...
It still sounds like a great idea...
no one on the list is a travel agent then?
