You should be ok if you start each line of your illustration with some 
whitespace, a la

=head1 Example 1

                   --------
                   |      |
                  /|\     |
    ====================  |
    |  artist          |  |
    |------------------|  |
    |  artistid        |---
    |  name            |
    |  parentartistid  |
    ====================

=cut

You may run into some wrapping issues if the text gets to wide, but that's
pretty much unavoidable.
