Which Unix geek doesn't love ASCII art? Well, I was bored anyway so... :-P

I created this using Aewan the ASCII art editor, and exported to HTML using the aecat utility. Yes, I know it's not very artistic but I didn't feel like doing anything more elaborate... 

                                                                                
          ____     ____       _______      _________     ________               
          |  ||    |  ||     /      \\     |        \\   |      ||              
          |  ||____|  ||    /  // \  \\    |  ||__)  ||    |  ||                
          |           ||   /  //___\  \\   |        //     |  ||                
          |  |-----|  ||  /            ||  |  ||\  \\      |  ||                
          |  ||    |  ||  |  |------|  ||  |  || \  \\    _|  ||_               
          |  ||    |__||  |  ||     |  ||  |  ||  \  \\  |      ||

Aewan supports colours and layers so you should find it easier to draw complex pictures. The best thing about ASCII art is that you are not bound by any rules and you can give your imagination free reign.

If you are a fan of ASCII art and love to fiddle around with "typewriter" drawing, you might want to give it a look.
