  I'm not sure if I understood your english well, I think you mean you 
are looking for images, but don't know where to get them.  If that's the 
case, I have this file from a friend, there are no copyright issues 
really, but I'm sure he would enjoy any publicity and credit you'd like 
to give him :)

Here ya go:

Hi folks...   #:o)=

I'm a member of an austrian bbs on the internet and i got a little
problem...  

We want to have some nice Ascii-Art's (max 10 lines high)
to express different emotions and statements. Now I don't 
know where to take them, without getting in conflict with 
the copyrights of these pictures...
We can send the 16 vga-colours too, so the second question is, 
if i could get coloured pictures too, somewhere....

Can anyone give me an idea, how to solve this?

TIA
Chrisse
