I know there are different types of ASCII art. I call some text art.Then ANSI art, Japanese ASCII art and computer generated (scanned images which are not really art at all).
Others, like typewriter art, are pretty simple to figure out (made on a typewriter).
But, I have heard the terms new skool, old skool, and of course, being a spelling and grammar person, I have never really liked them.… Read the rest
Karen Guise writes about saving wildlife, especially birds and bugs. Her art is unique. I’ve posted three, screen captures from a shop on CafePress. There are other animals: a turtle, a dragonfly which I saw on Pinterest, faces of wolves and bears, and probably others if you can manage to find them posted somewhere. I remember seeing these years ago.… Read the rest
FixedSys is still the font used in MS Notepad, which I still use to make ASCII art. It is my favourite font for ASCII art, making or showing it. Possibly it’s just that I’ve become used to it. But, it does seem just right.
FixedSys doesn’t come with many (any?) font packages, like the Google fonts.… Read the rest
Although you can find her site on the Internet Archives/ Wayback Machine, it’s abandoned by Joan herself. I’ve cut and pasted the site, part by part, so I can preserve the art and the information.
Intended to be reposted to a game or some kind of site. Garden, fantasy, and holiday themed text art. Most of these are kind of messed up and none are traditional ASCII art. But they are kind of fun and might be inspiration for something simple to make. I found this rabbit which could be converted into a good ASCII art bunny/ rabbit later.… Read the rest
I found this at Grmmxi. A site from Heikki Lotvonen, a coder and designer specializing in modular design and text art. Then I found the Glyph Drawing Club which has a blog site to post about text art and a guide to using the GDC.
I had to change the code, the font I had typed in. Using FixedSys as the font had stopped working. Or, maybe it never did except for my own web browser. Anyway, the description for the ASCII Art category in the Curlie directory is showing ASCII art again (in the HTML). It works!
I found several (some I had not heard of before) books about and with typewriter art online, at the Internet Archive. They are a lot to look through and I’m glad someone else had the job of digitally preserving them, and I’m really glad they did!

Typewriter art as a Christmas tree, as a stamp. They have others which look like postmark stamps too. I feel I should try to make my own but I haven’t had a typewriter for years.
