I have this nice drum set I found because I frequently post in rec.music.makers.percussion - a drummer's newsgroup. I also use it in alt.ascii-art as it's, well, ascii art. It's not my own work, but I think it looks very much like a small drum set. -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa

Mine rules. And it's only a sig so who cares.

You're not even used a freaking fixed width font are you? Use
fixedsys. Some people.

I'm honestly not knocking the art. It's just I couldn't see what the pics were meant to be. And as Bateau has quite rightly pointed out, I wasn't viewing them with the correct font. I certainly wouldn't know where to start trying to do any of my own.....I just manage to draw a paycheque....

Don't worry about it. **chuckle** Although I admit to having thought that the NG space that was occupied with criticism would be better put to use if filled with ASCII-art, I wasn't feeling a need to be defensive. :) > I certainly wouldn't know where to start trying to do any of my > own.. I just manage to draw a paycheque.... *smile* Well, that's unfortunate! I'm something of a newbie, so I understand what you are saying. I've been teaching myself over the past year and a bit how to do it. They tell me that I'm getting a little better. :) ======================================== ,qppppp. qMMM____;M ~ Taliszanna WhiteCrow ~ (a.k.a Jessie Brown OR qMMM.^^(Mp Her Mighty Erisian Po*piness, Pope Dances-with-Earwax) .qMMM__=/Mp _/ http://talis_white_crow.tripod.com/ MMMMM_',MMp
