Very Good. not too many first attempts are of this quality.
And I've got to know... Is that name Russian? Perhaps if I saw the
name in a russian font I might be able to pronounce it....
Perhaps there is a russian figlet out there somewhere.

When I created this signature I was inspired by Picasso's paintings.
But if it's scary for you what about this one? But don't write that
they are too long, and have only two legs. I know this ;-)

It is a three-legged horse. Nice! (but I get the impression he might be
in some pain)  :)

And a one-eyed self-portrait. Also nice (a bit scary with all that blood

I'm not so sure a fourth leg is necessary. We already have Felix

So perhaps 3-leggedness is an imaginative and desirable artstyle ?

Well... I don't think that was a Russian name. Sounds quite Polish to me.
But anyway, how can you make that letter in ascii?

Hmm... Added leg is too short and some people truly can think that's 
something else  ;)

And serious. This horse stays on three legs and lift the fourth one (like 
horses in circus). He has little twisted head to left side. We see him from 
profile, so second back leg is invisible (is DIRECTLY behind back left leg).
I hope that my explanation explain somthing :-)

P.S. My English is poor, so if I made any mistake - forgive me :)

Interesting - Skozhkowski is Russian name and sounds very similarly 
to my name. Maybe long, long time ago... Who knows? :)
Anyway you are right - I'm from Poland but why didn't you ask me?

OK-- I see the horse running at a diagonal- so it's right  back leg
would be shorter than the other in appearance...
It's your pic-- you certainly can have it as you like...

It sounds a bit similar to my name, which is Polish. (not phosphor, but my
real name) Besides, Russian doesn't use 'cz'...

ok, i forgot to type the 's.' sorry. But I intentionally used '*' instead
of 'zh' or something, because 'zh' isn't an accurate description of the
sound. Plus '*' looks a little like the russian letter (with this font,
anyway).

I like /\.  It looks like a modern greek lambda, and I've seen it used on 
lots of "trendy" Russian shopfronts.  It was even used in a Russian exam 
I took.  There's no need to use old, strict serif typefaces when it's 
obviously an L.

On my computer, "*" looks like ">|<."

But the letter usually looks like:

\  |  /
 \/|\/
 / | \
/  |  \

|   _/\_                 /\              _____

|                     /      \ (not A)    J | (about as small as it gets)

Didn't I do the 'l'?
___  
J |  E N |/| N   

Looks fine in two lines.

let me give a shot at the 'd'
  _   
 /_|  
'   ' 
   __
  / |
 /__|
|    |

Hmm... three lines seems to be the smallest...

|Anyway, as you can see, one-liners are impossible.

yep. you could use 'dth', and stuff, but it's doesnt give accurate
pronounciation.

yep. I said I thought the name was Polish before...

two or three lines could work.

Although I guess I was first introduced to ascii art 30 or 40 years when
I saw my first Christmas tree outlined with nothing but the letter x, my
first real look at it began about a week ago, and when I sought
permission to use some of Joan Stark's pieces on my web page, I knew I
was hooked.  Having said all that, I wanted to share my first attempt.
It's definitely a first attempt, but one of which I'm proud and will be
using on one of my genealogy pages.  On a Mac, it seems to look best in
Courier 9.

this is fixed-width-font type and will look slightly odd with a

Hi Gozel,

Your guy looks a little bemused! More 'hmm' than 'hi' :)

Anyway about the rose(s): I would post some here myself but I'm using
Outlook Express and have no idea whether it would send ASCII properly, so
why not check out a few of the posts on Google Groups, if you'd typed 'ASCII
Rose' on either Google Groups or Google you'd have found a great deal of
them:

http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=ascii%20rose&num=100&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&
safe=off&sa=N&tab=wg

Hope this helps,
Jake

A rose:  @}-`-,-

I used to use Outlook Express myself .. I can be tweaked to send ASCII properly.
Details are in the alt.ascii-art FAQ.
Theese days however I have replaced Outlook Express with Mozilla Thunderbird , which dont need any 
tweaking and is in all aspects a better program.
