    \_/\_/ elcome.  The following art has been reproduced, posted, and passed
around many, many times.  Here's my particular collection, for you to do with
as you please.  I'm not aware of any copyright hassle.  If someone doesn't
want their art to appear here, tell me and I'll remove it immediately.

   I've included 'From:' lines to tell who emailed or posted the piece(s).  In
many cases, the person who sends or posts the art is not the creator.
Unfortunately that information is sometimes lost.

   The sender's comments are in quotes.  My comments appear in brackets.
Anything else came as part of the art.  The various postings and archives have
been gathered and edited by The Scarecrow.

   Most of the editing that I did was in selecting what was to be included.  I
also fixed obvious file damage and removed unnecessary leading spaces.  I only
did 'touch up' work on a few pieces.  Most everything appears as it was sent.

   This archive is over 300 K, and contains around 400 pieces (could somebody
please count thenm?)  It's just a sampling of what's 'out there' that caught my
eye as the parade of goodies passed by.  Thank you all!

   If you have any ascii art, send it to: boba@gagme.wwa.com

   Enjoy!

The Scarecrow

   And now it's time to stop and view the sigs.  This is our little sig
gallery.  If you see any good ones, send them to: boba@gagme.wwa.com

   As someone once wrote:

  "Warning! PLEASE do not include ascii art in your signature files in
   Usenet newsgroups.  What may be OK in private email, is in very poor
   taste and an abomination when you are asking thousands of systems to
   transmit it.  It _WILL_ cause you to burn in hell!  Trust us!"

   Guess I'd better buy some asbestos usderwear.  Look out now!  Course, if us
sig ponters didn't post sigs, posted sig haters would have to depend on email
in order to grab good sigs. :-}

"I've been clipping sigs with ascii art, for a while.  Here they are.
(I kind of like this format, because it saves the artists' names (or
at least the plagiarists, anyway :^)"

Unix systems, type 'cat filename.' On IBM systems, type 'type filename.']

"This isn't quite how I'd like it to look.  Any improvements would be greatly
appreciated (like how to get it to look more like a circle).  I guess since
this isn't of general interest, it would be better to mail replies to:
        walters@cs.fsu.edu
Thank you.

[The subject line said 'Nude Santa']

"Just kidding folks!

I have come across a very nice picture of Santa recently.  It was used on an
announcement of a Christmas party of some sort.  Unfortunately, the picture
itself was about 1 inch wide by 2 inches tall and richly detailed.  It was
impossible to draw it that size.

So, I used a photocopier and enlarged the picture 4 times at 150% each
time.  This gave me a full page Santa.  Now this I could at least try to
draw.  It took me about 10 hours of work to complete it.  The details are
just unreal, but then so is Santa!

So, here is my first full page creation starting from scratch and without
using a scanner or any other equipment other than my PC.

You may do with it what you please, but I would greatly appreciate if you
would leave the credits.  Thanks."

   Here are two stories told with ascii art.  They are created by the talented
Chevalier.  He took some ascii art, and some stories, and presto!  Absolutely
nothing to it. :-)  If you come across any picture stories, send them to:

"Hello to everyone!
I would like to thank everyone that sent me lotsa cooool neat ascii-art
and especially Ric (thanks ric!)
I now have an impressive classified bank of ascii-art pictures.
The reason i actually stock those bank of ascii-art is that
not only am i a really POOR designer for those art, but i am also
a writer of child stories and poetry that i send to some
newsgroup for childrens and other newsgroup where those little
story are REALLY making a difference.
It brings smiles in the heart of many peoples!
I though i would share with you all the first illustrated story i sent
to the different newsgroup, just to show a bit why i was
asking for people to send me ascii art.
Again, thanks!
What follow is the exact illustrated story i sent a few days ago!:)

This story, my little one, happens in a pine-tree forest,     @
named by its inhabitants, the Ever-Green foest.  This        *|*
Forest, as your probably know, my little one, was called    @\|/*
"Ever-Green" because the pine trees never loose their     *\**|*@/*
leaves, even in the Fall, and so this forest was        @*\**\|/***/@
always, always green.                                    **\**|**/**
                                                        *\**@\|/**@/*

Every day, when the sun was   /     /                 ***@*\**|**/*@***
high in the sky, the Mail    /      >               @********\|/*@******@
bird (a beautiful blue      (      >                         _|_
tailed bird with large     /      /
wings) was running from   /     /       Every day, the mail-bird was
pine to pine, singing    /      /       talking to each of the inhabitant,
the news for the      _/      \_____    asking them: "Do you have any news?
other inhabitants    /-             |   is there something new to say to
of the forest,        /     /-\     /   someone?"
then after a while,  /      /  \--/

               /  __/            would then sing high
              /_/                and clear in the pine forest: "Rejoice!
                                 Mr and Ms rabbit just haave had a 17th
                                 children!"

Another day, it would be a caterpillar          /_\    Y
that suddenly decided it was time          7   // \\  ( )
to change a bit and transformed into a      \//    \\_//

    / *  /O\  * \    And every inhabitant would hear the beautiful voice of

                                                                    _
But of course, the news weren't always happy, my little one.     __( )__
Sometime, the newsbird was softly singing, with sad notes       (__>O<__)
in his voice, the death of a flower in the grass of a nearby       (_)
forest, or the lost of petals of a rose in a garden not far.        |
Every news was known to the newsbird, because he flies very         |
fast everywhere.  Many of the news didn't concerned the           ///\_
inhabitant of the EverGreen forest, though, since the newsbird
was giving the news to several forests.

       _-_       One day, the newsbird sang very sad news to the
    /~~   ~~\      inhabitant of the Evergreen forest.
 /~~         ~~\    "Today is dead one of the leaves family of the
{               }    Maple forest... they desperatly tried to resist,
 \  _-     -_  /    and in their beautiful effort, they turned yellow and
   ~  \\ //  ~~   even red! But they still have fallen from their tree
       | |       and they are dead now. Every inhabitant is invited
       | |       at their funerals.. they   will be burried with respect
      // \\      and love in the next             forest: the Maple-Forest!"
                                            @             _________
Hearing those news, many of the animals of   \____       /         \
the Evergreen forest were veery sad, but     /    \     /   ____    \
mostly, they were very curious. What? How    \_    \   /   /    \    \
can a leave become red and fall and die?       \    \ (    \__/  )    )
It never happened, in their forest! A couple of \    \_\ \______/    /
spouse snails, especially, were very very sad    \      \           /___
and also, very amazed by those news,and asked the \______\_________/____"-_
newsbird a few questions:

"-- How come a Leave can turn yellow? and red? And how come can it die,
 falling out from its tree? it never happens, here in the EverGreen Forest!
 isnt it always the same everywhere?"
"-- No, no, answered the newsbird. There is many other forest than yours!
 In the Maple-Forest, trees let their leaves die in
 Fall and its very sad, but very beautiful and colorful...       /\ o-/\
 Will you come to the funerals and pay a last repect to the     ///\|/\\\
 poor Leaves family?"                                          /   /|\   \

"--Is it far from here?, asked the wife snails, for they knew they were very
 slow, and though they hold their house on their back, like turtles, the wife
 wanted to be sure they would be back for dinner."
"-- Oh no! only a few minutes straight ahead from here.. you cant miss it,
 its like a raimbow of orange, yellow and red leaves everywhere!"

The two spouse snails decided to go to the         ___
funerals.  They walked.. and walked.. and        // __`\  o o ~
walked for a long long time. They were soon     ll ( .) l_) ) `
very tired of walking, and exhausted.          __\\ \__/   /
   ___________________________________________/_/________/^^

   /^\_           _/|     "--Is the oak-Forest still far from here? they
  |    \  __  ___/  /      would ask a bird every day, during their trip."
   \_       >    _/
     \__      __/    "--Oh no! would answer the bird! Continue straight
       /    _/        forward, you cant miss it! It's only a few minutes
      /___/\ \        ahead! keep going!"
            m m                                                  (  (    )
                      And so snails continued to walk and      ( (     )   )
walk for days and nights.  The wife-snail already realized     ( (         )
they wouldnt be back for dinner: indeed they often had to     (           / )
stop to eat on the road, before continuing their trip --      ( ( \\       )
but since the snails, as you know my little one, always          ( |  // )
travel with their house on their back, they weren't too much       |   |
bothered about their slowness, and so they walked for a long,      |   |
long time.  Eventually, after a long long time, they arrived       |   |
in the Maple-forest. But They were very suprised. It wasnt         |   |
red and yellow at all! it was beautiful, and sunny, and green!     |   |
Beautiful trees like they never saw before were there, and      ``'-------
their leaves were splendid and full of life!

                  |       They were stunned, and looked ridiculous, here
                 |.|      in this beautiful green and living forest, with
                 |.|      their black mourning shells and the morning crepe

                |\./|
.               |\./|               .    "--Why are you in mourning? asked
 \^.\          |\\.//|          /.^/      one of the beautiful green Leaves, on

    \--.| \    |\\.//|    / |.--/
     \---.|\    |\./|    /|.---/    "--We came here for the funerals of a

           \ .\  |.|  /. /           The newsbird told us we were invited!"
 _ -_^_^_^_-  \ \\ // /  -_^_^_^_- _   The two snails were very disapointed.
   - -/_/_/- ^ ^  |  ^ ^ -\_\_\- -      But then the sun talked to them:
                  |
                  |                 "--Dont be sad! It's Summer, now! All the
                                     leaves are restored to life! Laugh! and
stay here for a while, enjoy the feast and take some vacations!"

The sun was warming all the forest, and all the   o       o
animals laughed, and singed, and everyone was so   \_____/
happy that the two snails soon started to laugh    /=O=O=\     _______
too, and decided to join the summer life.         /   ^   \   /\\\\\\\\
they painted their shell in beautiful sunset      \ \___/ /  /\   ___  \
colors, and removed their black mourning crepe     \_ V _/  /\   /\\\\  \
and soon, they were laughing and playing with the    \  \__/\   /\ @_/  /
other inhabitants of the Maple-Forest.                \____\____\______/
Then later, they started their trip home, and who
knows, my little one? maybe was it Fall again when they arrived?

[Some time after this wolf was posted, somebody asked for a bear.  So I
reposted the wolf again, and said I though it could also be seen as a bear.]

[Repost of my repost of the wolf.]

 The problem is, the nose is too long (snout), the ears are too pointy,
 the neck is too long and the eyes are too alert (bears' eyes tend to be
 mournful looking, don't you think?)

 So, I massacred the original to try and make something closer.  See if
 you can see what I mean.  And yes, I believe my "modification" is
 repulsive.  It is an illustration of what I mean.  Also, I couldn't get
 the eyes to look less attentive."

[Yeah, well, it sure does look more like a bear.  It made your friend, ye
olde Scarecrow look like a dummy.  If I only had a brain.]

[Colin got this from ab401@freenet.carleton.ca (Paul Tomblin).  It was posted
to an aviation group.  This is a small sampling of a 29 K file.  Maybe Colin or
Paul can email the whole file to you.  Note: I have put the picture id and
source info above the pic for consistency in this archive.  In the original,
they appear below.]
