A few days ago I sent a request for historic items done in ASCii art. A
couple of people asked where they could find samples of the items of was
looking for. So here are some URL with sample pictures of items from my
wish list. There are other locations to find similar pictures and I'm
not necessarily locked into a particular mask/kachina
doll/carving...etc. If you find one you think would be better, or you
want to make something unique but in the style of...that would be great.

Of course, I will make sure you get credit for your original work.
Anything you'ld like to share from the list would be helpful.

Thanks again.

Lisa

This part was located at the right top corner of the image. I didn't add it

Correct me if I'm wrong, these are for
an online history project?  I noticed that
all the pics posted so far on a-a-a have been
reposted on alt.archeology.  Is the project
being done by the newsgroup?  Just wondering.

This is for a history project at SDSU, for my history 101 class. But
considering the objects I was looking for, I thought it might be helpful
to get feedback also from archeologist-type people. I just finished coding
the Dancing Ganesha into the data base (ascii art isn't as straightforward
to code into a computer as it is to type onto a page.). If you would like
to see how I'm using it, telnet to guest.musenet.org. Then login as guest.

When you get in, ask a mentor to take you to #9471. The Ganesha is there.
With luck, I will soon have a pharoah's mask and the Buddha done. It's
slow work, but very rewarding. Also please look at the sign in that room.
:)

I can't see why slamming one string into a database can be a problem...
Just grab the entire pic (Make sure that when you read it 'newline' is not
an input-separator) and whang! feed it to the big beasty...
(Okay, you might need to tell the database that it can expect unusually long
strings on that field)

I bet you feeding some plain ascii (Which is after all just text) to a database
is muuuuuuuch simpler than drawing it.
