ASCII artwork is artwork that is created without using graphics at all. It is created using the symbols and characters available on your computer keyboard. It started back in the old days of typewriters, probably with the first "smilies." People got creative with text, and ASCII artwork was born! :-)



Scroll through the work below, and you'll be amazed at what can be done with the keyboard. The artwork is credited, when the artist was known; there are nearly 200 ASCII cats in this collection.
