· 1 message · 7 Jun 1994
This is a collection of ascii art I've done in the past five months.
I thought I'd put this together, to help bootstrap rec.arts.ascii,
before I disappear on vacation.
The pictures are in no particular order. Most of them were posted to
alt.ascii-art; some in slightly different form.
Thanks to everyone who's given support and encouragement, and thanks
to all the other artists, whose pictures have taught me how to draw in
ascii. It's been a fun journey so far..
