REQ: ascii 'playing card' art

I've been searching through a few websites, looking for ascii
renditions of playing cards (jack, queen, king, ace, &tc.) or even
tarot cards (which would be completely cool), but am having a bit of a
time finding out how to find them.  So I've appealed here, hoping
someone can point me in the right direction as to find such art.  I run
a free text-based game online (a MUD) and was hoping to use these, if
allowed, with credits given. [Is this sort of thing acceptable?]

Thanks in advance; I've looked over some of the postings on this group,
and am glad to see that I'm not the only one who enjoys 'text-based
things'. :-) (<-that's as good as I can do!)

Regards,

Di

I had a look at Andreas Freise ascii dictionnary. There are some nice
things here :

http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/c/cards.txt

I just had a try (except the diamond which comes from the page above) :

                               _
       ,'`.    _  _    /\    _(_)_
      (_,._)  ( `' )  <  >  (_)+(_)
        /\     `.,'    \/      |
                               _
       ,db.                  _(M)_
      (MMMM)       Stef     (M)+(M)
        db                     |

Making Jacks, Queens and Kings would be more difficult ...

I think people are always welcome to use ascii (with credit) for non
commercial purpose.

Please tell us when your game's finished !

Cheers,
