First of all....I'm an artist.  I do the old fashion oil paintings, digital
art and so on.  I attended one of the top art colleges in the USA.  It was
told to us there that nobody decides what art really is about.  The artist
himself/herself determines what art is about.  If ascii art is black and white
and thats acceptable than that is fine, but the best artist in the world where
people who went against the grain.  Those people like Picasso, Brock, Georgia
O'Keefe and Andy Warhol.  They all broke the mold, so to speak.  So it is my
believe that if art is guided or structured by people who only want to see it
a certain way then its not really art to them.  In this case ASCII art I do
believe could be a very interesting art form black/white or color.  Either
way, I've seen some tremendous artwork posted in here.  bug is one,I feel, has
a huge amount of talent and Tran Q. Nguyen needs calm down :)  Seriously bug
Great Work! and to all I say keep exploring this new art medium.  It could
explode in a few years. I know I'll be exploring it.  Its all new to me and
when I feel comfortable to show you my art I will.
