Ready to be blown away? Here’s just a few of the things that people do with a keyboard and a computer. Oh, and a lot of time. For the purpose of this post I’ll show you the thumbnail first so that you can really be blown away.
Quick tip before we blow your socks off. ASCII art is best viewed from far away. So don’t be afraid to get up and look at it from far away. Otherwise you might not get the full effect.

Oh, it gets better.
Heres a new way to view the world. 
Ok this next one just blew me away. Ready? Its a portrait.
I cant imagine the hours that went into this. But I can certainly appreciate the quality!
Heres something for you nature lovers-
This is one of my favorite. Shark pictures are usually pretty cool, but this one is something special.
Ok ready? Color manipulation-
From far away you would swear it was a washed out photo…
And finally we have one that isnt just made of random symbols. It has words.
Really took the “a picture is worth a thousand words” to heart didnt they?
So did you guys enjoy that?

Wow! I have seen these before with small things like the year (usually done for New Year’s Day) and my name, but I don’t think I have honestly seen things like this. These are pretty neat. Is there a way to learn how to do that? I would love to.
Oh,
this is amazing! Really nice and different.
But you have to see this site/application, where you can asciify any of your images:

These are amazing. So many levels more complex and shaded than any ascii art I’ve seen before.
These are one of the best ASCII arts I have seen in quite some time. I have always been using them on social networking sites. The fact that these are made by just a keyboard and a computer was unknown to me. I thought there must be some software for this. Now this seems some real hard work. But then, at least we get to see such pretty pictures.
What a great Ascii art is this i have not seen anything this creative in my life. I is really amazing to see these stuffs. Great work.
Wow, amazing collection, how ya create it…This is what I call innovative and very different.
These are totally amazing! The shading is incredible…very well done. It is fascinating to view these from afar.
Its incredible how much dedication someone has to have to get the quality most of these have. Im glad everyone liked it!
There is so much to this…I don’t know if I could have that much patients. This is so good. All the time in shading. and layout. I don’t know how that is possable. I learn something every day!
