Appreciation For All Things ASCII

Posted by timothy on from the what's-wrong-with-chunky dept.

AsciiRock writes "Sick of seeing those chunky pixel art logos everywhere? Check out AsciiBlog, Contemporary ASCII, and Ascii Disko (no relation to me) for examples of artists inspired by plain text. ...and also click me! and click me! which made their way around the net some time back. Wonder how many other examples of BBS design sensibility there'll be this year. There's already Wired illustrators. 2002, year of ASCII design?"

    that's just rendering a picture with ASCII chars, where's the human effort? it's like a robot-made-painting.
    and the flash movie? well, you can't just jiggle around with the chars. it defeats the whole purpose.
