ASCII art

Are you a fan of ASCII art?
The graphic technique uses text to create art.
It's pretty cool and not as easy as it looks.
It is thought to date back to 1966 to Computer Art Pioneer Kenneth Knowlton who worked for Bell Labs at the time.
His early book:"Studies in Perception I" co-authored with Leon Harmon has some great early examples.
Here is a site that has collected scads of examples from folks all over the world.Art lovers,Computer lovers or just lovers of cool stuff in general enjoy!

From every child springs new hope.

Can I borrow your face?

Ive begun a graphics painting project with the hope of showing that we may come from different lands but were more the same than we know.We all call this mother earth home.We are family. On that note...can I borrow your faces for my project? I'm a graphic painter and I'm very excited about this. here are a couple I've done already.If you'd like (and I would love it if you did) send me yours to paint.Love,Kathi
