Is ASCII art dead?

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

I don't grok the question.

Most works are like that.  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.

Maybe I was a little rude but honestly, Some shitty drawing of a robot is 
hardely to-the-point ans possibly even plagerised.

The guy is well known for drawing original ASCII art robots.  Odds of
plagiarism are inversely proportional to your being a troll.

Nice plug, but that looks like a monitor cable. I'd have gone for
a power cable. Something like this:

That one looks a little better than mine.

In other ASCII art not dead news, I've been considering taking one of
my old designs and silkscreening it onto a tee-shirt.
