His site also has many files of ASCII art. Chris and Steve's sites have Steve Sullivan's many files of ASCII art called Small ASCII Pics. They are available separately, or all together in a tar.Z file. Don't miss 'em. Jorn and Chris' FTP sites also have the big Scarecrow's ASCII Art Archives. The Scarecrow's archives contain hundreds of pieces of art, special sections on sig and plan art, graphics form BBS login and server screens, fonts, GIF conversions, and more. These sites also have a file called the Most Often Requested Edition. It contains the pics that people request the most on the group. It has pics for wishing friends a happy birthday, Star Trek, flowers, dragons, hearts, cows, Winnie the Pooh, etc. You'll also find the Scarecrow's separate files of humor, sigs, GIFs, fonts, BBS art, etc. (which are listed in the answer to the next question).
