So I started by drawing a simple, yet extremely important object of our Easter tradition, an egg: ,aaadddd8888888bbbbaaa,_ ,adP"'' ```""Ybaa, ,dP" ``""Yba, ,8" ``"Ya, ,P' `Ya, ,P' `Ya, 8' `8, 8 `Y 8 ,P 8, ,P' `b, ,d" `b, ,d" `8, _,aP" `Ya, _,,adP" Normand `"Yb,,_ __,,adP""' Veilleux `"""YYYY8888888PPPP"""' Of course when it's plain like that it's just a regular egg. But it only takes a few stokes of an ascii paintbrush to turn in into this: ,aaadddd8888888bbbbaaa,_ ,adP"::' 888 "Y8ba, ```::Y8aa,_ ,dP" ::' ,88P ,88P' ,::: ``8"Yba, ,88' ,:: d88' d8P' :::' ,P `)88a, ,888 ::' 888 "Y8ba, ::: d' d8P`Ya, ,888P ,:: ,88P ,88P' ,::: ,P ,88' `Ya, 8888' ::' d88' d8P' :::' d' d8P ,::b, 8888 :: 888 "Y8ba, ::: 8 88' ::::b 8888 :: 888 ,88P' ::: 8 88, ::::P 8888, ::, Y88, d8P' :::, Y, Y8b `::P' `888b `:: `88b "Y8ba, `::: `b `88, ,d" `888 ::, 888 ,88P' ::: Y, Y8b,d" `88, `:: Y88, d8P' :::, `b _)8P" `Yb, ::, `88b "Y8ba, `::: _,8adP" Normand `"Yb,::, 888 ,88P' __::adP""' Veilleux `"""YYYY8888888PPPP"""' And while I was at it I decided to try a different style too: ,ggadddd8888888bbbbaaa,_ ,ad888, `Y88, `Y888baa, ,dP" "Y8b, `"Y8b, `"Y8888ba, ,88 "Y88b, `"Y8ba, `"Y88Ya, ,P88b, `"Y88b, `"Y8ba,_ ""8a, ,P'"Y88b, "Y88b, `"Y8ba,_ `Ya, 8' "Y88b, ""Y8ba, ""Y8ba,_ `8, 8b "Y88b, ""Y8ba,_ ""Y88baaY 88b, "Y88ba, ""Y88ba,_ `""P 8Y88ba, ""Y88ba,_ ""Y88ba,,_ ,P' `b,"Y88ba, ""Y88baa,_ """Y888bd" `b, `"Y88ba,_ ""Y888baa,_ ,8" `8, `""Y88ba,_ `"""Y8888baaaaaP" `Ya, `""Y888ba,_ `"d88P" Normand `"Yb,,_ `""Y888baa,__,,adP""' Veilleux `"""YYYY8888888PPPP"""' The pictures I post are at their best when printed with a 'Line Printer 16.67 cpi' font or equivalent. ,aF ,a88" ,a888" ___ ______ ad88P" ,88888, ,d8888888a ,888"' ,88" `Y8, ,88" "Y8) a88" Quality is I8b, `8b ,88' d8) d88' never an accident. `Y8P 88.88' ,88' d88' It is always the (8V8' d8P d88' result of high (88P (8P d88' intentions, sincere d88 88' d88' effort, intelligent ,88' ,88 d88' direction and skillful d8P ]8[ d88' execution.
