Additionally, this site supports the Respect ASCII Artists Campaign, which emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and crediting ASCII artists for their creative contributions. As a community-driven art form, ASCII art thrives on mutual respect and appreciation for the creators who make it possible.

We extend our deepest appreciation to the developers, artists, and designers behind these tools for their dedication and creativity. Your work makes it possible to build an engaging and user-friendly experience for our audience.

We would also like to give special thanks to Joan Stark, one of the pioneers of ASCII art, whose creations are featured on this site. Some of her works are displayed without the original signature, and we want to acknowledge her invaluable contributions to the ASCII art community.

And of course, we also honor other leading ASCII artists who have shaped this medium, including Andreas Freise, Christian Jensen (CeeJay), Rowan Crawford (Row), llizard (ejm), Felix Lee (“FeLIX”), Laura Brown ("ldb"), Donovan Bake, Hayley Jane Wakenshaw ("hjw"), Normand Veilleux, Norman Anschuetz, Riitta Rasimus, Shanaka Dias, Susie Oviatt, Veronica Karlsson ("vk") and Faux_Pseudo, among many others.
