ASCII Art

While looking up different art forms I found this one especially interesting. Here is a deffinition of ASCII art from www.walthowe.com/glossary/a.html :
"Artwork composed entirely of ASCII characters used as lines and shapes, not as characters with meanings. The simplest ASCII art is the simple smiley faces, but at the other end of the scale, they can be large, elaborate pictures. For a good collection of ASCII art, see the ASCII Dictionary."



Drawing With Water

This man uses water to draw his creations, then he puts a dot of ink on it and it spreads to show the picture. The artist's name is Emmanuel Guibert. He writes graphic novels for all ages of readers. He lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.
