It is just AMAZING to me how the human mind can take something as simple as text and make amazing art with it. Below are just a FEW of the more amazing ones that I came across.

As you can see, they get REALLY intricate...
These are just a very MINUTE part of what is available at that site.
Go give it a look, you'll spend atleast sometime being amazed at what people can do.
