Frequently Ask Questions

1) How do you create your ASCII art?

With any quality product you must use the best materials. Every ASCII drawing is created with only top quality ASCII characters that are bi-endian compatible. Too much of the ASCII art out there uses inferior ANSI characters and while we here at www.fauxascii.com could save some money by using those bytes we have a commitment to quality products that forbid their use.

Oh, and I also use emacs, aterm, Esetroot and anything else that comes in handy. Do not try to use notepad.exe for creating ASCII art. You will drive yourself insane.

2) Why do you create ASCII art?

Because someone has to and it might as well be me.

3) If you are so into ASCII art why do you have photos on the site?

Because I have a digital camera and have to put the debris someplace. Most of the new photos don't end up here anymore. They end up on my flickr account.

4) What does 5824 think of all the time you spend drawing naked women?

5824 feels that she should be able to meet these nude models over a candlelit dinner. Without me being there.

5) What is a 5824?

It is a girlfriend.

6) How can I take a piece of this fine ASCII art home with me?

You are joking, right?

7) How much do you charge to create custom ASCII art?

Contact me and tell me what you are looking for.

8) Can I be a model?

Yes, you can. Send me pictures. You can reach me via my contact page. Your identity will be protected. I am looking for clothed and unclothed, male and female models.

8a) Does that really work?

Yes. Yes, it does.

9) Where is your RSS feed so I can keep up with your new drawings?

I don't have one. Instead I use my LJ as the place I dump things before I put them on the site. The RSS feed for that is here.

10) How can I get started creating ASCII art?

Get a job and stop watching TV. Then set aside 2 hours a week to drink beer and type at the keyboard.

11) How do the stereograms work?

On most of them there are two guides at the top. Most of the time they are X's. Cross your eyes until you see three X's. The phantom ones on the sides you can ignore. The solid one in the center is the one you want to focus on. From there the rest of the drawing should come into place and be in three dimensions.

12) Are the rumors about you and Princess Di true?

Who told you about that?

13) Do you eat the mushrooms you find?

No. I value my life.

13) What about the cult?

There is no cult.

14) How did you learn to cook?

Trial and error. As Bill Cosby once mentioned, doctors have to bury their mistakes, cooks just have to eat theirs.

15) Why did you mess the site up?

I have used a text based browser for years but now firefox has become more usefull than elinks for most of my browsing. Of the unique visitors that visit here only about one in every 1,347 are using text based browser. When it came time to reload the site for easier upkeep and expandability I decided to go with CSS instead of HTML tables. So you can still read it in a text based browser the main portion of what you want will be one page down from whatever displays.
