Brings me back to the days of “BBS”
Wow… that’s incredible. Is that all done by hand Jeremy?
wow, how cool! I’ve only seen simple ASCII art in .nfo files.
How do you even do somthing like that!?
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.
lol, this has inspired me to a bit of art of my own this weekend…
That was my first impression. I was wondering which tool he used.
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?!
… check it … time to hit the hay :S
I know how to make this at least.
This one looks like a decent match after a couple options are changed.

I doubt it. Can you imagine doing that by hand?
I also made the mistake of clicking the first link in the post. You have to click “Check it” to see the art
Looks like you have steam coming off your head lol
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.
This is quite impressive. I love this type of “art.”
Those are sweet. You know what else are cool, those dot portraits they do in the wall street journal.
Hahaha linkbait!
That is awesome! You should be so flattered…..so are you gonna have it blown up full oil on canvas and have it mounted above your fireplace?
thats cool!…How Do i get me one of those : )
This is not ascii art. ascii art is monochrome and uses the ascii letters to represent the tone. ansi art gives you 16 colors.
just need to convert it over into one of those 3-d illusion photos then it would really rock!
Thats some badass keyword stuffing technique from 1995 too
LOL
Kind of hurts my eyes…. It’s like one of those photos where you have to lose focus to see the hidden sail boat.
I’ve seen something like that before. It’s cool kinda. Wonder what we’ll think about it 50 years from now.
That is a cool picture!!!

it’s very easy stuff…
all you need is upload a picture and set the options
and its free
lol. LB101, massage thy targets ego. would have taken the guy 2 seconds to run the photo through a script and look at what he achieved
pretty impressive.
I am surprised how the ASCI art works but in this cae they must have some SW to do it.
That is amazing, i need to find a program to do that
cool….
i’ve just realized if it is a html code… first saw i thought it was a photoshop manipulation…
That is great!
Very cool portrait. I wonder what script or program they are using
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
First of all i have seen that in my email of bollywood acresses it looks cool.
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).
cool trick. Seems like someone has too much free time though.
