History of a human form...
In alt.fan.warlord, someone reposted this .sig after an ad
for an obscene 900 phone-sex number:
> ,-,__,

I thought it was about the right size for a project I wanted to to,
so as visions of Meriday danced in my head I restyled this mini-net-
goddess as follows:
.,,-~&,
{ / ,__\`.
{ `}'-_-/\ \
{`}'\__/ ) }
__/ l_,' /

Y \l
\ \
`. \
|`, \
l / }
l/ /
/ ,'
/ /|
/ ,' l
(. \l. `_.
\ \_`~~'
`''
Then, on to the final goal: My dance club could use a personalized
ascii graphic (hey - couldn't everyone?), so on went some
(admittedly tight|) clothes, in went a partner, and Voila' A couple
going into step 1 of a West Coast Swing figure|

But then I wanted to show a more classical picture, so I exchanged
the pants for a short skirt which allowed me to move her legs up a
space and really give her the right posture (I know - the skirt
really needs to be longer so we can put a poodle on it...)

So now, having finished this, a need to add some text to fill the
white space on the right of the dancers. I would really appreciate
it if someone who is handy with block letters could write "Dancing
Illini" and then on a separate copy of the last picture, in block
letters "Dancers' Archive", each in a way that would fit and look
nice. Any takers? (improvements to the figures would be
appreciated too|)

Here is version 2 of the Swing dancers with a few details fixed (hands,
his arm, her feet...).

Long live West Coast Swing|
I would still really appreciate it if someone
who is handy with ascii fonts could write "Dancing Illini" and then
on a separate copy of the last picture, "Dancers' Archive",
each in a way that would fit in the white space to their right.
(improvements to the figures would be appreciated too|)

This is not really what you're looking for, but it is still a great
excuse for me to repost my dancer pics. They look best in the font
that my Eudora program uses, where the lowercase "L" has a curvature
at the bottom, and the only letter with serrifs is the capital "i".
They don't look as good in the standard font used by Telnet, or in
Courier.
Here's some West Coast Swing ASCII-art I designed: good for all kinds of
uses, like FAQ's, WWW Dance Pages, Dancers' Archives, annoyingly long
.sig's, etc.
