These are absolutely phenominal. I must admit that I am just
flabergasted by the talent you have for these things. You have a true
gift for these things. :)

For the most part 6 lines x 50 characters wide, but it really depends on
the channel you are talking in and whether the moderators either like or
dislike ascii art. There is one channel I talk in that forbids ascii art
(or long messages) of any kind and there is another where some of the
art is up to 30 or 40 lines in length. I usually use 50 characters for
the length since it seems to be the most reasonable for everyone seeing
them.

Since Pirch and mIRC 4.7 introduced colour into the realm of IRC there
has been alot of ascii art floating around. In this case (no pun
intended) I wanted the book art for the #Psychic_Readings Channel and
for an intro to 'Storytime by TdyBear' :)

Thank-you very much.

If anyone is into this (ascii-art on IRC) here is the modified script
that I'm using for 'Storytime' :-) Hopefully I haven't done too much
damage to a beautiful job. I've put it as an attachment since (on my
newsreader anyways) it screws everything up with the control characters.
