As a new poster but old net hound, I have to say I am *very*
impressed with the level of intelligence and art I have found here!
Bravo to all of you for sharing your formidible talents! Those of
you who are on the receiving end of those talents, please be sure to
apply liberal amounts of praise and credit where credit is due.
It's only fair.
I'm only sorry that it took me so long to check out this group.
Makes me wonder what all I've missed. I can't get to the Web for
the moment or I'd be checking some of those sites as well.
I saw mention of a Sonic the Hedgehog piece go by. If someone has
such a thing and would kindly repost it, I promise you, later this
summer, I will return the favor by doing some art of my own to
share. I am a professional science fiction and fantasy artist with
20 years in the business behind me. I specialize in animals and
animal mixes. I'm sure I can drum up some goodies for you.
Give me time though. I'm getting a new computer later in the summer
which will allow me to do this *much* easier than I can now.
Keep up the good work!! As I said, I'm *very* impressed.
M.Skirvin

dear ascii artists,
i just wanted to say that i really enjoy all of your work. i began
searching out ascii for my friends who did not have graphics
programs and im an artist so i am email-graphic-friendly. so using
ascii and figlets, i have opened up this world to them as well. i
have spent endless hours looking at collections on the net and am
incredibly inspired to try my hand at ascii.
i have noticed that some of you seem to compare your styles to
others and find disappointment in your own efforts. i would like to
extend feedback and say that all of it is wonderful. from emoticons
to photo-ascii, i found the personality of its creator refreshing,
the variety endless, and the generosity to share welcome.
i especially enjoyed the younger kids efforts too since their
perspective is so different from an adults (so, zoe whispers...
encourage your children to create ascii <GG>!). thank you for sharing.

Couldn't agree more. I don't create ASCII pics but still I read the
group because the atmosphere is really nice. It's fun reading it and
takes the seriousness off life a bit (oh, the drama ;-) ).
