I set out to make a self-portrait.  The resulting
monstrosity looks NOTHING like I do.  I have
given up on it, and I'm uploading it to this news
group.  Have fun with it.  I never want to see it
again. :-)

I see you have an up-to-date collection! That beard is relatively new.

Not quite correct Colin.  The beard in this picture is beard number 4
(I think).  Therefore, the beard you've seen is beard number 5.

I cut beard number 4 about 1 month before joining the Ottawa-Hull
Tall Club, so that explains why you never saw it.  Considering that
I've had a beard for 3.5 years out of the last 5, those last 6 months
without one were just not the norm! :)

I set out to make a self-portrait.  The resulting

given up on it, and I'm uploading it to this news
group.  Have fun with it.  I never want to see it
again. :-)

Hmmm...  My "letterhead" has been floating around Cyberia for over
four years now (since 11-21-92) -- I guess you missed it, Colin.
Or perhaps, you were not aware it was a self-portrait?  ;-)>

and, assuming TWINBROOK is not 'out-of-touch' due to network problems
(which have been rampant of late), you will get:

to be naked or clothed?) with the same wavy hair.

My portrait is still missing from the gallery (and there are so many good

Oh damn it all !  After all these years...

So Professor Peanut is none other than your self-portrait ?

This face was part of one of the very first of Stephen Sullivan's Ascii
Collections which he used to post in rec.humor long before the
creation of the newsgroup alt.ascii-art.

There was no identification of the face, or name of it's author, so
I named it Professor Peanut and it has been used in several pictures
since then...

I wasn't aware it was a self-portrait. Most, but not all, of the 
portraits have originated from Daniel Au's " Net Surfer Licences "
which are a relatively recent phenomenon.


> Thanks, Colin, for your dedication to ASCII art and this group.

Having had much enjoyment from the alt.ascii-art newsgroup it seems 
appropriate to try to contribute something in return, though not 
necessarily in the form of new artwork which some artists produce in 
astonishingly excellent abundance.

I have spinweb.vt animation in my collection but the aquarium and 
headache seem to to have eluded me.

-the fingering tOUCH- he?
What kind of indecent conversation is that?
Ho well, I was once a beginner too.  :D

I thought I'd do a repost of the gallery that Colin collected. Since
Colin is gone it would be a shame to just let it gather dust.

new one when I get a chance, that one is kinda outdated anyways (makes me look
like I'm 19 or something. :-)

Here is Colins Gallery of Ascii Artists from '98
I've added a few portraits and would like to date each one
(No not go out on a date! I want to add the date that they were drawn!)
It would be nice to add each persons nationality as well, if they dont
object.
