    Looks like somebody who visited my personal blog in June was snatching up a couple ideas. See:

    Image to Text Converter and Fun with Matt Cutts

    Anyhow, if you want to see real ASCII art, hand made, check this out.

    Warning, Nudity (but not p*rn, although that is also available in ASCII, believe it or not).

    I’ve seen this one before. It works great when you reduce the font size of your browser. Try using your mouse scroll with the CTRL key ;)

    I am surprised how the ASCI art works but in this cae they must have some SW to do it.

    I’ve seen something like that before. It’s cool kinda. Wonder what we’ll think about it 50 years from now. :)

    Kind of hurts my eyes…. It’s like one of those photos where you have to lose focus to see the hidden sail boat.

    This is not ascii art. ascii art is monochrome and uses the ascii letters to represent the tone. ansi art gives you 16 colors.

    Seems like other people weren’t that impressed, but I was! I don’t care if he used a tool, I’ve never seen anything like this before.

    I also made the mistake of clicking the first link in the post. You have to click “Check it” to see the art

  26. Travel Notebook - July 27, 2007 at 12:50 pm

    I doubt it. Can you imagine doing that by hand?

    This one looks like a decent match after a couple options are changed.

    I’m looking at labnol.org … and seeing posts from the 25th but no ascii art?! Am I skimming trhough too quickly or where’s it at?!

    That was my first impression. I was wondering which tool he used.

    lol, this has inspired me to a bit of art of my own this weekend…

    Actually, that’s not incredible at all. This can be done in five second by any image2ascii converter you can find online for free.

    It’s a cool thing to do portraits of bloggers but that’s it.

  34. samn - July 27, 2007 at 11:27 am

    wow, how cool! I’ve only seen simple ASCII art in .nfo files.

    How do you even do somthing like that!?

  35. Derrick Shields - July 27, 2007 at 10:52 am

    Wow… that’s incredible. Is that all done by hand Jeremy?
