Katakana style “ascii art”?

Hey guys. I really love all the Japanese emoticons made on the kana keyboard. I grew up in a time where "ascii art" was a thing, where people tried to make pictures using ascii characters. I thought I would search the internet for similar artwork done with the kana keyboard, and was surprised that I came away empty handed. Perhaps my search terms were poor, or perhaps it's because my search results are English language sites. Has anyone come across a website with this kind of Japanese artwork? Is there a term for it?
