Welcome! If you are looking for ASCII art dealing with love, romance, and affection, you are in the right place. I put together this collection back in the late 90s for another website I was running. Now, it is time to bring it back into the light of day and give it a site all its own.

The ASCII art on this site was created by a large number of artists, and credit has been included where the artist is known.
If you use artwork from these archives, please respect the artists' work and do not remove their name/initials if they are present. Thank you!

When Feb. 14th comes around, here are some ASCII Valentines that might come in handy.

Whether you're looking for a 1-line rose or a flower that fills the screen, you'll find it in the ASCII flowers collection. There's even some colour HTML flowers and an old colour ANSI rose.

The ASCII hearts found here are useful for the rest of the year.

Here are some ASCIIs for when you want to say "I love you" to that someone special, and here's one done in html.

       ___                  ____                  ___       
  ____(   \              .-'    `-.              /   )____  
 (____     \_____       /  (O  O)  \       _____/     ____)

   (______/              `-.____.-'              \______)   

Most people appreciate hugs. I've even taken a few and added HTML codes to make them special Web hugs, located here.

For that special person, a kiss.

When the romance and love continues, you may find yourself in need of these wedding ASCIIs.

For anyone who's dreamed of being or meeting the knight in shining armour, here are some knights and princesses, and some castles for them to live in.

     --====--                      --====--         ---======--- 

Next, we have some various and miscellaneous cuddly words that I've found. I also used Figlet to make ASCII versions of the words *hugs*, *cuddles*, and *snuggles*. If you'd like to make your own words and phrases, check out the ASCII text generator here.

 _( Y )_

Let's not forget those wonderful cuddle buddies of our childhood. And our adult life too, for that matter. Here is a collection of teddy bears.

                                                     ..::''''::..    
                                           .:::.   .;''        ``;.  
   ....                                    :::::  ::    ::  ::    :: 
 ,;' .;:                ()  ..:            `:::' ::     ::  ::     ::

  '''::,   ::  ::  ::  `::   ::  ;:   .::    :   ::  :          :  ::

`:,,,,;;' ,;; ,;;, ;;, ,;;, ,;;, `:,,,,:'   :;:    `;..``::::''..;'  
                                                     ``::,,,,::''    

Now, we have smileys.

Here are a few miscellaneous items, with a UUencoded ANSI version of one of them.

      `.  V  .'      
        `. .`        
          `          

Finally, we've taken image captures of some of the artwork from the site, allowing it to be shared in places where a fixed-width font isn't an option. We'll probably add a browsable gallery at some point, but for now you can go and view a random romantic ASCII picture.
