Is ASCII art dead?

I hope not! Maybe I should start doing some ASCII art. Since now I have been using pen and paper and just liked to look at ASCII art - or even better: true ASCII animation. ;-) Do you remember the wonderful "Nerdboy" pieces by Joaquim? That at least was a sign of ASCII life (at least in this newsgroup) not too long ago... Bye, Martin

Especially any that are hight detail works where using one fixed font will cause it to be top/bottom squished as there is a lot of variablity in the hight of different fonts. I have only done a few ascii works this year and not many last year but I expect that sometime next year I will be without TV and will be doing a lot more ascii work between illustrating, learning guitar and brewing. -- =()==()==()==()==()- http://fauxascii.com \ \ \ \ \ \ ASCII artist :F_P:-O- -O- -O- -O- -O- -O- -O- Get your ASCII Art T-Shirt: http://www.keystroketshirts.com/ascii/dream-in-ascii-fullView.php

Maybe I was a little rude but honestly, Some shitty drawing of a robot is hardely to-the-point ans possibly even plagerised. -- Posted on news://freenews.netfront.net - Complaints to new...@netfront.net --

The guy is well known for drawing original ASCII art robots.
