ASCI-ART for SMS / Handy

Hi from Bremen in Germany,

I'm searching for ASCII-Arts to send via SMS from Handy to Handy.

Is there a Newsgroup or WWW-Site?

Thanks for your answers.

Hmm... this is turning into a bit of a FAQ!

I'm going to save this reply for future use!

We at alt.ascii-art would be most happy to forful requests for most mobile
phone messages, but we first require some information?

What size is the screen (how many letters wide? how many letters tall?)

Does it use a monospaced font?
  You can find out by typing this:
III III|
MMM MMM|
In a monospaced font, those lines will be the same length.
We can't do it if the target phone isn't in a monospaced font.

Is there anything special we can do?
Some requests have allowed simplt animation where you scroll down the
message a page at a time to see the anim...

What characters can we use?
Some phones have more characters than others.

What characters can't we use?
Some of these phones don't seem to be able to manage some of the main
characters that ascii artists use a lot... \ | / > < . - '

Are there any special requirements?
eg Do you need some kind of space left for something?

What do you want a picture of?
Well, we won't start drawing until you tell us what to draw!

If you could give us as many details as possible I'm sure people will be
happy to respond.
