I believe Lennart Stock was the original creator of the wolf pic... but I can`t
find it in my files.... It may have been Joan Stark ... I`m sure I`ve had it in
my ascii gallery at some point but can`t find it right now :o(

Hopefully someone else can be of help.

Byez,
Martin

Well, I don't think it was who you said, there is a "BB" in there, that must be
the artists initials. There's no other reason for that to be there otherwise
(IMO). :)

BB is Bjxrn Bratli (I presume the x is some non ASCII character).  He 
posted the pic and did the scenery and the elf pic.  I think he stated 
that he used someone elses wolf as a guideline for the one he did when he 
posted the picture.  I believe he may even have been asking who's it was.

 Well, now you know who the artist of the
wolf is... and his name ought to be added to
the picture.

it is slightly different, it was tweaked to have
a "dotty" slope on it's back rather than _/
a more jagged one.  It's the same pic.
It think the best thing is to give credit to
wolfgang and add your initials... (joint credit)

Bjorn, it seems that you keep changing your
name... I do remember you quite well... I just
knew that the wolf pic had been around for
years... (before me, even!) and that you hadn't. 
Please forgive me...

That's a Norwegian letter. Here's a one-pixel-one-character

Nope-- here it is... I don't know who "BB" is
but his initials don't belong... once again, someone
takes credit for someone else's ASCII art.. sigh.

Eh...
I can see there is some missunderstanding here...*sob*
Let's try that again shall we? :o)

I saw this first time years ago....and I don't remember who actually
made it, and now...(about a week ago) I found this:

in the mIRC Script ShowDown Pro
and the author of that script had removed the original
initials...and replaces them with �ShowDown Pro�
along with almost 100 other ASCII Art I have seen
before *WITH* the proper initials...

Then, after looking at this, I made a new one, different size
but kept the wolf (wich is a little different from that you have
Joan..) this is how it looked like when I did it:
(it's NOT diddle, and NOT a copy except parts of the wolf..)

So, BB is me...(I have had BB as a sig for many years now, think it
was about 3+ years that I posted my first ASCII in this group, had
then the email address vav...@infolink.no ..wich is down now)
and I *DID* say that I did *NOT* make the original...

<Quote from my first post of this>:

So...I hope this has ended some loose treads.. :o)

Joan: btw...thanx for not remembering my initials *sob* :o(
Do you remember the Smurf on a skate board sig?...about the same
time you posted Smurfette (think it was the first time..not sure)
or the teddy bear in the christmas pic sig? (x-mas 1996)
