Hi all,

Lots of people say that the days of ASCII-graphics in counted! But,
somehow there keeps on coming new uses for these little "drawings" - and now
I think, that I have found a new:

Sending ASCII-pictures as SMS!
On a Nokia Communicator SMS-messages is actually presented as a little
postcard on the small screen, allow for small drawings.
And now I seek little drawings that can fit into this little screen. This
means drawings no higer than 5 lines and no longer than 10 characters!

1234567890
2
3
4
5

Below is the few that I have found, but I could really need more.
Especially I need a car, a house, a cow, a boat, and someone sleeping or
going to sleep!

Can you great artists out there help me with this???

thanks in advance...
