There is a whole sub-culture of geekdom which produces pictures in ascii
characters.  Some even produce movies in ascii!

Two free programs which will convert jpg images to ascii are:

The Characterizer at:
<http://www.aolej.com/free.html#Chara>

and the ASCII Generator at:
<http://go.to/ascgen/>

You can try converting jpg images online to ascii at:

Size limitation of 400 x 400, so you will have to resize your example
image first.

Hope this helps, BillK
