catscii

Hi all!

I am a small renovator in Ontario, and am working on designing and
marketing an affordable office module for home business people. I have the
text of a three fold flyer pretty well ready, but have considered adding
some ascii for interests sake.

I have been combing archives for cat-ascii, something that connects with a
line in the text. Some of what follows is my own work, some modifications
of others, some lifted whole. I intend to ask those artists whose work I
have borrowed if I can include their stuff, with a small credit to their
names and emails.

I think I have lifted from Joan Stark (spunk1111), Felix Lee, and Mike
Rosulek. If anyone recognises their own work in the following let me know.

Donald.

At this point the flyer will go into a number of details regarding the
office modules, etc. Standard sale stuff; show a problem, present a
solution.

After which will be the following ascii, showing the cats left outside the
door. I am thinking of shifting the sleeping cat so that its head is
partly in front of the door, and shifting the whole drawing right, with
any text to the left.

Donald:
Go for it dude!
You are doing a great job!
You can use a search engine and use the key words "ascii art" together,
there are a lot of really FANTASTIC ascii artists out there that would
probably not mind you using their art if you credited it to them.
