A group for fans, collectors, and creators of ASCII art.

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended characters (beyond the 128 characters of standard 7-bit ASCII). The term is also loosely used to refer to text-based visual art in general. ASCII art can be created with any text editor, and is often used with free-form languages. Most examples of ASCII art require a fixed-width font (non-proportional fonts, as on a traditional typewriter) such as Courier for presentation.

My attempted translation as an intermediate Spanish learner:

The trees and the

forest, the brushstrokes and

The Mona Lisa. The important

things are lost

in the details, not

in plain sight.

When you realize,

you back up. You say,

I want to read between

the lines, and you discover that

there’s much more to

discover - all the

sunset on the savanna

of Africa. All the

drama and comedy of

life.

But as you pointed out, “te quiero mucho Africa” (I love you a lot Africa) is emphasized in the original Spanish, which isn’t really easily translated even when you keep the spacing the same on the words.
