Some things from my ascii scratch pad, to balance all the silly
non-ascii-art articles I posted today.

This cat face I did yesterday.  A simple, uncomplicated picture, to
take a break from the complicated things I've been failing at lately.

              _.---.._             _.---...__
           .-'   /\   \          .'  /\     /
           `.   (  )   \        /   (  )   /
             `.  \/   .'\      /`.   \/  .'
               ``---''   )    (   ``---''
                       .';.--.;`.
                     .' /_...._\ `.
                   .'   `.a  a.'   `.
                  (        \/        )
                   `.___..-'`-..___.'
                      \          /
                       `-.____.-'

Here are two small versions of the handicapped symbol I did a couple
months ago.  I was thinking of doing several more, in different sizes
and styles, to gain experience with different ascii techniques, but I
never got around to it.

      P
     C`=.

This is a bird in a cage that was an attempt at something different.
The cage turned out to be too small for what I wanted, so I gave it to
a bird instead.

An old broken bottle that's been waiting for a place to put it.

  \ __/     __)

A recent attempt at doing a Scott Kim "inversion".  (See his book,
_Inversions_.)  The idea is to write something in a way that can be
read both right-side up and upside down.
                                _____
    #_     ___ ___  _____/\____/  __/_#  _____  ____
   / /  |\/__ \| | / ___ \  ___\___ / | | / | \/_  /
   | |  | |  \ \ \/ /__/ /| | / __ >  |/ /  | |  | |
   | |__| |  / /|  <____/_| |/ /__/ /\ \ \_/| |  | |
   /___/\_|_/_| |_/__  \____ \_____/ |_|\___/\|  /_/
                # /____/    \/                    #

This has been some of the okay stuff from my scratch pad.  Most of it
is junk waiting for something to happen to it.  Probably get deleted.
