Etiquette in this newsgroup is to identify the artist when possible. As an ASCII artist, it is assumed that whatever you post is your work, unless you attribute it to someone else. You must consider yourself to be an ASCII artist... you create original work... therefore people will attribute your posts to you unless you tell them otherwise. Not to do so is misleading. -joan -- , , /(_, ,_)\ DON'T MESS WITH ME... \ _/ \_ / I'M A REAL CRAB TODAY! // \\ \\ (@)(@) // joan stark \'="=="='/ spu...@juno.com ,===/ \===, ",===\ /===," ASCII art gallery: " ,==='------'===, " http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ jgs " "

I guess you are aiming that comment to me. I can hereby inform you that I have produced art myself. Not much, but a bit. And about collecting: If no one took care of the art, where would it end up? Lost forever. Where would all the art go if we didn't have art-galleries? Shut up with your idiotic remarks and get a life.

Can I play, too? OK: What makes an artist? (1) An artist is someone who says "I am an artist". (2) An artist is someone who has a certificate from an art school. (3) An artist is someone who is acknowleged by others as an artist. Think about it. Sven -- l'art pour l'art.

The >complete statement says that some people make unqualified statements about >things that they are ill equipped for to judge. We are not put on this earth to judge... people know what they like and what they don't like- that is their opinion and they are entitled to it. Opinions are neither right nor wrong. As adults, we should respect that. >I am not negative, I am merely reacting to ongoing harassment. >You approached me to work together, I put forward my conditions for a >joint project, you took offense, insulted me (and praised me at the same >time, for that matter), I cut off all connections on my end, and asked you >to do the same on your end. >The harassment ought to have stopped right there. This is *not* harassment. If you think it is, you are very naive for this world. This newsgroup is an open forum- You cannot dictate what people write nor can you dictate who can write. I responded to this post : >I notice that some people can only collect other people's work, they can >not produce anything themselves, except for unqualified comments. I disagree with its content- I would've responded to this had anyone else posted it. Imagine how dull this newsgroup would be without the ASCII art collectors, requestors, and commentators... All people have just as much right to USENET. As for "unqualified comments"- just _who_ is the expert at ASCII art? Who is qualified??? I'm guessing that you may be bombarded with email by those people who collect the ASCII art.... And they feel the same way as I do. -joan -- .{{}}}}}}. {{{{{}}}}}}}. {{{{ }}}}}}}}} joan stark }}}}} _ _ {{{{{ spu...@juno.com }}}} 6 6 {{{{ {{{{{ ^ }}}}} {{{{{{\ -=- /}}}}}} ASCII Art Gallery: {{{{{{{;.___.;}}}}}}} http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ {{{{{{{) (}}}}}}}' `""'"': :'"'"'` jgs `@`

This is not an alt.ascii-ARTIST newsgroup. It's for everyone interested in ASCII art, regardless if they can produce it themselves. Why must you be so negative? ***SPUNK***
Gee, I did not realize that I am being honored with so much religious
zeal: being credited with other people's work, with other people's
posting, and now with other people's words ... along with the promise of
getting more of these honors ...
Well, I do not claim to be unbribable, one day I might cash in all the
credits!

Checked my Random House dictionary...
artist, n.,
1. a person who practices one of the fine arts
2. a person who works in one of the performing arts
3. a person whose trade or profession requires a knowledge of design, drawing, painting, etc...
4. a person who exhibits exceptional skill, manual dexterity, cleverness, or the like
(syn) artists or artisans are persons having superior skill or ability or are capable of a superior kind of workmanship...
to be artistic... you must
1. conforn to the standards of art; satisfy aesthetic requirements
2. show skill or excellence in execution
3. exhibit taste, discriminating judgement or sensitivity...

Here we go again - defining words by other undefined words. But the question still is: Does it suffice to *claim* to do these things? Or is there a definite way to judge upon this? What *is* art? And what makes a person an artist? Can a computer judge upon this? Followup-To: alt.philosophy.blah.blah.blah My point: Anyone who calls himself an artist (whether by typing ASCII pics or some other kind of art) might as well say "I am cool". Which is very uncool. Stop griping, though - just post some ASCII pics here and be done with. Sven -- Grain of salt!

There's a fine difference - there are posts were a very simple ascii picture is included and the author calls him/herself an artist.. that makes me go hmmm.. But don't listen to me. I think that 99% of people calling themselves artists are fakes who make up fine reasons of superiority to explain their noise (nuffing wrong about that) where it's just about fun (nuffing wrong about that either). -- Lennert Stock http://www.lstock.demon.nl/ lst...@lstock.demon.nl

Having been a professional artist/designer for over 30 years, I view "artists" as 1) learning, 2) competant, 3) accomplished, and 4) vulgar copycats. I would rather view the simple renderings of a new "artist" than the plagiarized, reworked offerings of copycats, no matter how talented they may be at their craft.

Haha! Another idea that I could incorporate into the movie, Grandpa Devilstein's singing must be quite mighty though, to tumble walls. I had no luck sofar with a devillishly sounding MIDI (everything I found sofar sounds too musical), so any sound format will do, perhaps a sound clip from Godzilla or similar, as long as the file size is not too gigantic. ------------------------------------------------ ,, _ Grandpa Devilstein!

Well, my idea is that of a fun chase all over the screen, Birdstein does not get hurt, with Grandpa Devilstein uttering the grunts. And no, I won't put orgasm grunts into that movie either, as someone else suggested, to keep the Internet safe for kids :-) Refer to my movies and multimedia web pages to see things that I like to create. --------------------------------------------------------------- ,, _ Grandpa Devilstein!

The only song that I know of with that sort of idea is Serpentry (k_serpe.s3m) which can be found at The Hornet Archive. http://www.hornet.org Serpentry has some samples of a woman making sounds of frustration and yells of displeasure.. You could also do a search there for words like devil, etc.. but this isn't midi,is it.

Which is very uncool. YES! I'm actually agreeing with Sven!!! My answer to your question is no, claiming that you do something does not suffice. There has to be some affirmation of your abilities or capabilities. If you claimed to be a sprinter, you would have to provide examples of your speed (ie, your time). But as for art, that relies upon how someone views your work-- it is completely subjective. Right now the only analogy that I can come up with is gymnastics or diving. Scores are given based upon performance and aesthetic value. Judges are qualifed by being certified in their area of expertise. As for ASCII art, there are no certifications or qualifications (none that I know of, at least). There are art degrees. But I wonder if ASCII is considered a valid medium... Jon Melusky and I discussed this once... he is an art major. Perhaps he can add to this discussion...

Er, Walt Disney animators created Bambi... Llizard's right, I just made a likeness of the animal. If I had been the one who came up with Bambi for good ol' Walt, I doubt that I would be sitting here at my computer doodling around with ASCII characters! <g>
How about this? I'm a good copy-cat? :)

Well, actually Erik, I think he was referring to the original being
drawn by an animator at Disney. Now I don't actually *know*, but
I don't think that was her. :^)
However, she is very, very good. And the improvements are amazing
since her first posts. Joan, you just keep getting better. :^)
Thanks, for the art work.
Sandy
