I have a web page devoted to it. One of these days, I'll fix it up.
Right now, it includes a dozen or two small images of teletype art,
as recreated from the original data with a program I wrote. It
converts the overstrike art into an Adobe Illustrator file that
can be rasterized by PhotoShop. I'd like to put the original
files online, but it would take many megabytes.
Contemporary ASCII art doesn't make much sense to me, but old
teletype / lineprinter art does. It was a great way to squeeze
graphics from old machines.
