*** Is your server / ISP in need of any ASCII / ansi artwork?
Perhaps, you would be in need of :
* IRC welcome-banner fonts

* Custom made email signatures
* or ANYTHING, I can help.
If interested, contact bar...@pangea.ca for some sample artwork, or to
discuss what you need. Will produce artwork until the customer is satisfied.

Then, using the popular $ character, just shape a word of any font. $'s are usually used for the bulk of the characters, and commas, apostrophes, periods, etc. are usually used for rounding the characters off. Much simpler than getting somebody else to do it for you. :> wyv

See? > etc. etc. I like drawing ASCII. :) For all you people with a fixed-width font, I'm bored enough to paste the ASCII of my ircII script: ``""@$$$$$$$$$$@s. ,s@$$$$$$$$$$@""'' `@$$$$$$$$$$@s. ,s@$$$$$$$$$$@' `$$s`"$s.`',$s. .s@$$$$$$$$$$@' `@$ $$$ """""' '""""`@$$$$$@"' ,s@$$@s. ,s@$$@s. $$$ .`"$s. `"$@,s$@s.`',s@$$$@s. ,s@$$@s. ,$$$""$$$. ,$$$""$$$. $$$ $. $$$ $ $$$$"$$$. $$$$""$$$. ,$$$""$$$. $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ $$ $$$ $ $$$' $$$$ `$$$. `"@$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$$.s$$$' $$$$ $$$ $$ $$$ $ $$$ $$$$ `@$@s. $$$$,s$$$' $$$$ $$$$ $$$$ $$$ $$ $$$ $ $$$ $$$$ $. `@$$@s. $$$$ `$$$. `$$$.s$$$' $$$.

The idea of putting that "X" behind the "eclipse" was taken from an older BitchX logo/ASCII, but I still made it. :) And btw, it looks best with a black background and gray/white text... Not sure why, it just does. :P I've also done a few more ASCII's, such as here's one I did for a friend: ,$ s. ,$" ,$" $$. ,@$ $$ $$ ,s@$$$$@s. $$$$$@' ,$$. ,@$. ,s@$$$$$$$$$$$@. ,s@$$$$$$$@. @$$@ ,s$$$@s$$$@. `"@$$$$$$$$$$$@$$$$$$s. ,s@$$$ ,s@$$$@"@$%wyv%$ `@$$$$$$"' `@$$$$$@. ,s$$$$$' ,$' ,@$$$@"' `$$$$$' `$$$$$$ ,s `"@$$$$$s,s@$$$$"' ,s@$ ,@$$$$' $$$$' $$$$$' ,$$. `@$$$$$$$$$@' ""' @$$$$' $$$$. $$$$$ ,@$$$$. `$$$$$$$$$' `"$$$$ $$$$$ `"@$$@s,. $$$$$. ,$$@'"$@. $$$$$@$$$s. ,$$$' $$$$$ $$$$$$ $$$' ,$$$ ,$$$$$"$$$$$s $$$$ @$$$$ `$$$$$ $$$ $$$$ $$$$$$ `$$$$$.`$$$s.`$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$ $$$',@$$$$' $$$$$@ `$$$$.`$$$$. ,s@$$@"' ,$$$$$ `@$,.$$' $$$$$' `$$$$$. `@$$.`$$$$s. ,@$$$' `"@$@s,$$$$@' `$$@' ,$$$$' `@$$$@s. `$$ `@$$$$@s@$$$@' `"@$$$@"' ,s$',s@$$@"' `"@$$$$s.
