I used to love ASCII art when I was young. I still do, but I don’t actively look for it as much as I used to. Take a peek at some of the art below and relive your early days when you were trolling on AOL Instant Messenger.

Multi-Line Art
All kinds of stuff could go here. The ones above are some of my favorite one-line ones.
I’ll post links to my favorite art showcase websites in future updates.
Update: That time is now!
- Christopher Johnson’s ASCII Art Collection – has many different categories. They are displayed in a classic website design.
- ASCII Art Archive – has many different categories. They are displayed in a modern website design.
Which ones do you like? Post your favorites below!
