Stereo-gram ASCII art?

Stereo-gram ASCII art?

alt.ascii-art · 7 messages · 6 Mar 1996 - 16 Mar 1996
Is there another newsgroup where people post ASCII stereograms?  Or perhaps a 
web site with a collection of them?

Please respond via e-mail as well as posting here.  Thanks.

Holy crap! That is the best ascii-sterogram I've seen. Most tend to be of 
the foreground/background pictures variety. I figured this would be just 
floating names, thank you for surprising me. Also is there supposed to be 
something on the far right? It looks as if there is the beginning of 
something there (about at the four corners of where a third letter would 
go) which is dropped back from the major plane. Is this an unfinished 
work of just a small glich in the picture. Keep up the good work.


I look forward to seeing anything you might do, and will study your 
technique on this one so that I might be able to do the same.

I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to, but in the upper right 
corner of the picture is the artist's signature. It says 'Rich Holmes", 
and is at a depth behind the main background.

TERRIFIC - Now would someone please post a Stereo-gram so I can try to see
it again?

It's a picture that you can't see.  It's like abstract art, because
if you can "see" it, and other people can't, then they think you 
are either crazy, or very art conscientious.
You stare at the picture for a while, and let your eyes cross,
and a 3-d picture "jumps" out at you.
