The Coolest Twitter Art (PICTURES)

We've seen Excel art, iPhone art, and even blue-screen-of-death portraits. Here's an up and coming medium not to be missed: Twart, or Twitter art.

Text-based Twitter art is an emerging trend for a select group of dedicated tweeters.

Using a template similar to old-styled ASCII art, people can submit their own artistic masterpieces for the entire Twitterverse to see and share. Here is a compilation of some of our favorite Twitter art on the web. Vote for your favorites below, then send us screenshots of your Twitter art at [e-mail], or via the tool below!

NICE Matthew - have my slide removed. Is this always how you deal with people you disagree with?

The Tweet Art in this article from @_kotomo was actually created by @makimaki59 - the art from @ricardoj01 was actually created by @twart1st. Both were Top Tweets in the hashtag #WorldCup during Japan's first match. Uncredited RTs are fine, just makes it hard to tell what a Tweet Art's origin is. So… FYI. Love the article (of course) -signed @tw1tt3rart

Thank you for your comment, Matthew.
I'm really glad that you remembered my japan flag.
My twitter ID is @mikamika59, actually ;-)

Love the article and twitter art.
Thank you Huffington Post!

Ach! I know your name & I type / proof badly … sorry Mika Mika (59) http://twitter.com/mikamika59 … I spelled it right in my Tweets, at least … :^) How could I forget your Japan flag? I have a screen shot of the day you & me & twatr1st were all three "Top Tweets" in #worldcup at once. The day that #TwitterArt became almost-respectable? I should send it in to this article & see if they want it.

I also should comment that two main "TwitterArtists" who I think of as having really started the genre
are @Om_Sun and @Guy_Vincent. They are more abstract, don't draw pictures, but are very worth checking out.
