Some things from my ascii scratch pad, to balance all the silly
non-ascii-art articles I posted today.
This cat face I did yesterday. A simple, uncomplicated picture, to
take a break from the complicated things I've been failing at lately.

Here are two small versions of the handicapped symbol I did a couple
months ago. I was thinking of doing several more, in different sizes
and styles, to gain experience with different ascii techniques, but I
never got around to it.

This is a bird in a cage that was an attempt at something different.
The cage turned out to be too small for what I wanted, so I gave it to
a bird instead.

A recent attempt at doing a Scott Kim "inversion". (See his book,
_Inversions_.) The idea is to write something in a way that can be

This has been some of the okay stuff from my scratch pad. Most of it
is junk waiting for something to happen to it. Probably get deleted.
