Catalyst) Subject: Talk/Line: who's who of ascii (500 lines) Date: 1996/01/24 Message-ID: <4e4uin$i67@miso.wwa.com> X-Deja-AN: 135955496 sender: boba@sashimi.wwa.com references: <4d7onb$kg@miso.wwa.com>,<4dn8v9$edd@miso.wwa.com> organization: Carnegie Mellon Computer Club newsgroups: rec.arts.ascii,alt.ascii-art Brian Odom suggested making a list of ascii artists, and started the ball rolling with these participants: >>scarecrow (aka the archiver) >>colin douthwaite (sp?) (another archiver) >>philip kaulfuss (boy genius) >>daniel au (haven't seen him in awhile) >>valkyrie (lovely e-stamp collection) >>lennert stock (weird abstract style. i like it) >>christopher (xopher) (will make a sig for anyone) >>normand veilleux (is he still around?) i think i saw him awhile back >>rowan (is he still around?) >>brian odom (i've been away for awhile. i specialize in logos) >>q-ris (whatever happened to him?) >>allen mullen (if only someone could program gifscii to emulate allen) >>susie oviant (sp?) this name rings a bell for some reason >>james (another guy who lurks around) Normand Veilleux corrected the spelling of Susie Oviatt's name and made this addition to the list: >You should definitely add Tua Xiong to your list. He has done several >amazing ASCII pictures too. I propose adding examples of the artists' work when adding to the list, so people can see what's out there and get some idea of why you like their art. For example: Felix Lee (fL): perhaps best known for his numerous cats -- his can of Spam is more widely circulated, but often his initials have been removed from it. |\ _,,,---,,_ /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ |,4- ) )-,_..;\ ( `'-' '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL ========================================== | ,dP""8a "888888b, d8b "888b ,888" | | 88b " 888 d88 dPY8b 88Y8b,8888 | | `"Y8888a 888ad8P'dPaaY8b 88 Y88P888 | | a, Y88 888 dP Y8b 88 YP 888 | | `"8ad8P'a888a a88a;*a888aa88a a888a | | ;*;;;;*;;;*;;;*,, | | _,---'':::';*;;;*;;;*;;*d;, | | .-' ::::::::::';*;;*;dII; | | .' ,<<<,. :::::::::::::::ffffff`. | | / ,<<<<<<<<,::::::::::::::::fffffI,\ | | .,<<<<<<<<<;,::::::::::fffKKIP | | | ``<<<<<<>>>>;,::::fffKKIPf ' | | \ `mYMMV?;;;;;;;\>>>>>>>>>,YIIPP"` / | | `.
