You are right, it was the freehand tool in JavE.

Wow you can wave a mouse around to make pictures. That's some real ascii
art talent.

And painters wave brush to make pictures. What's wrong with it?

...or throw paint around... or dribble it off a twig... or shoot it out
of a jet engine... 

How art is made is unimportant... what matters (to the artist) is that
he/she derives some satisfaction from making and (to the observer) that
it is visually / philosophically / conceptually interesting.

I tend to agree, but I think I'm also one of the few that actually give JavE
credit when I think it was actually doing more work then me...while the pretty
conversions are easier on the eyes in many cases I still almost feel it is
cheating. Like the image below, it's a conversion, but I diddled a bit over 40%
of it if I had to guess...either way it was Jave that did most of the work...now
if I just used the drawing features of the program I'd likely not give JavE
credit.

So there is no cheating, at least when I use the program. If you think so, then
you should start bitching about all the rest of the diddlers as I'm giving
credit where it is due...with JavE. Now if you said I was cheating and I put my
sig in both & did not credit JavE then I could see that, but as it stands you
are just being the ass that you have always been...the one we have all grown to
love *hugs*

That's not really a sensible definition for all art IMO. Me, I don't 
know art but I know what I like.

A shorter adventure, and quite as
exciting, was Tinker Bell's attempt,
with the help of some street faries, to
have the sleeping Wendy conveyed on a
great floating leaf to the mainland.
Frotunately the leaf gave way and Wendy
woek, thinking it was bath-time, and
swam back.

Ok so the text says she floated and
swam.  I liked the idea of her floating
on air and falling a bit before doing
the swiming.

Sensible or not, it works perfectly for me. (Even in the above case... ;-)

If you're trying to defend me here, forget it! That particular 40 line
drawing was made specifically for Bateau to use as his sig.

Well it can't work "perfectly" - as there is bound to be art that didn't 
involve "blood, sweat and tears". That leaves only certain possibilities;

a) Your slightly defective (highly likely in this NG) ;)
b) It is not a correct definition

Some of these are certainly art according to my criterium. The effort 
involved in creating them doesn't have to be physical effort. (It's "blood, 
sweat and tears" with the quotes to be precise.) Others are not art in my 
opinion. They are cheap/easy imitations of art. They may still be pretty, 
beautiful, interresting or not but they are not art.
