How about posting your self ASCII portraits? This should be fun <grin>!

PS-That is not a portrait...

Hmmm... September 96.... How about updating that one Andreas? I'm sure
I've seen a more modern version around. (It must be more modern, my
picture was in it and I hadn't made that one then)

I have to appologize.  I am too handsome for ascii portraits.  If I could make one that did me justice, it would just result in all
these women on this newsgroup rushing to Oklahoma, to try to rape me.  I hate when that happens.  If you gals just HAVE to... well,
try the Tulsa Fertility Clinic.  I donate sperm there.

   On the other hand... if you are really pretty, we might can work something out.  You'll have to be at least as pretty as my wife,
though.  That's gonna be a tough job, however.

   Anyway, I think I will not do an ascii picture of me for y'all.  I allus did figger that a little knowledge was a dangerous
thing, an' even jus' an ascii pix of me mite be too danberess for most of you gals to see.  I would hate to be the cause of more
fussin' an' frustratin' than there already is in the world.

It seems that Nana is missing. Here is a good one (I was looking for the
one of Nana on top of the doghouse but seem to have misplaced it):

My portrait is still missing from the gallery (and there are so many
good llizardllikenesses from which to choose).

I rather like the photo on my ascii-artist licence:

Ts, ts, must have missed the last one or maybe I was not 
mentioned. ;)

I've updated it now and changed the link to :

http://www.stud.uni-hannover.de/~freise/ascii/ab/artist_gallery.asc

It's mostly Colin's Gallery from September 97 (!) but I added
the following 'heads' :

It's a conspiracy! Species-ism! They refuse to let anybody into their posh
little "gallery" that has more than 2 legs!... 

... Lousy Bi-peds... Think you're so much better than us?...

Are we so different? If you prick us, do we not bleed?... If you tickle
us, do we not laugh?... yada yada yada... You get the idea...

'strange artists with strange names and even stranger
self portraits' and simply forgot to add that. Sorry, sorry!

Sorry...I do not recall havind not seen any other ASCII artwork 
posted by the above four people...do they do much ascii artwork 
somewhere other than newsgroups ?  

Or are they just characters you know personally who have been 
tempted to do their Ascii portraits ?     



The following will be added to my Gallery of Ascii Artists unless 
the people concerned indicate that they do not wish them to be added 
for some reason.

The Artists Gallery I compiled was mainly from Daniel Au's Surfers
Licence and at the outset I decided only to include what seemed to
be real human portraits rather than caricatures...although there are
one or two included that should perhaps be omitted ?

The other parameter I used for inclusion was that the person should
have done some ascii artwork in addition to just the portrait...
although just the ability to do one's portrait might be enough for
inclusion ?  Again...on reflection...there maybe one or two
inclusions of people who have done no ascii artwork other than their
portrait.

I do label my compilation " Gallery of Ascii Artists " so perhaps
a portrait cannot be considered enough...addtionalr works are necessary ?
Exclusions would probably mean dropping some of Daniel Au's Surfers
Licence collection which only called for a self-portrait.

At the end of the Gallery I also list Ascii Artists who have no
self-portrait.

I dunno...decisions, decisions, decisions ?  :-)

If llizard really wants her portrait in the Artists Gallery I guess
the above offering is representative and expressive of her work and
could be the best choice for inclusion ?  It depicts llizard the
artist drawing herself ?

Well, I guess you are right about the first three but I 
think these drawings by Paul Gradenwitz are enough to 
qualify for the label 'ascii artist'.

Know none of them. :)

I always wondered about the way you compiled that gallery.
Eg, when I was looking for old ascii art I might have missed 
I found with Dejanews and Altavista :

Neil Fraser       : 0 pictures
Mark A. Alexander : 0 pictures
Joey Millison     : 1 (great) rabbit
Cheech Leung      : 0 pictures
glenn Tarigen     : 0 pictures
...
and then somewhere I stopped - slightly disappointed.
