I was poking around idly today and happened upon a monogram I had drawn
in high school. Translating it roughly into ascii left me with this:
_______ _
| || |_| |\|
_ | || _________
(_)_|__||_ | || | \
| ||_|_/ __ _
_|__||_ |_ |_| |\/| |\/| |_- |-<
which *begged* for more, garnering:
_______ _____ _____ ___
| || / || \ | |\ |
_ | || | || | | ||\ |

Not bad atoll, since my name is easy to asciify (most letters have mostly
straight parts). The O is a bit shaky, but what the hey. Let's go for
an entire alphabet.

letters missing: Q S
letters needing work: G O
letters that could be improved: C R W?
Things are looking pretty good so far, but I'm having a devil of a time
working up an S, which I desperately need. I've also no Q, and life
without a Q can't be much fun.
Any input will be appreciated.
