What you’re doing is impressively amazing! What inspired you to do it in the first place?

First, thanks for the kind words!

It all started in the early 2000s. Once I came across an article about ascii art, printed in a computer security magazine. I was impressed with the idea of creating images from text and wanted to do it too. Began to practice, got acquainted with other artists online (back then, the demo-scene was still relatively alive), and even released my works with an art group for a few years. In about 2007, the group broke up, and I stopped creating. But years later, I realized that ascii art still excites me.
