Text Art

Type-writer art & ASCII art have been sources of inspiration for my latest bookmaking project. I used Photoshop and some photos I took of my cat Ulysses to make my text artworks. I really want to use this technique for future projects & I'd especially like to play around with screen printing my text art designs. Here are a selection of text artworks I've found online.
