look around... there's got to be something nearby....

one idea for starters is to make a self-portrait...
another idea is to make an ASCII representation of a flag...

have fun with it.

'------------------

If you hang about here for a while, someone will post a 'REQ: ...' message
asking for something in ascii art... perhaps you can draw what they want for
