Who's talking about it?

  1. If your face was in ASCII, what would it look like?

    cool trick. Seems like someone has too much free time though.

  2. Carsten Cumbrowski

    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.

    ASCII Nudes Collection – 30 Years of “Naked” ASCII Art

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

  3. stupid 3gp

    First of all i have seen that in my email of bollywood acresses it looks cool.

  4. SEO Reloaded

    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 ;)

  5. BloggingDosh

    Very cool portrait. I wonder what script or program they are using

  6. Joeychgo

    That is great!

  7. bolo

    cool….
    i’ve just realized if it is a html code… first saw i thought it was a photoshop manipulation…

  8. Nathan Hannig

    That is amazing, i need to find a program to do that

  9. The Dino

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

  10. Gronk

    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.

    it’s very easy stuff…
    all you need is upload a picture and set the options
    and its free

  12. Michael Fultz

    That is a cool picture!!!

  13. cooliojones

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

  14. Paul.

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

  15. StrangeProgress

    Thats some badass keyword stuffing technique from 1995 too ;) LOL

  16. CPA Affiliates

    just need to convert it over into one of those 3-d illusion photos then it would really rock! :)

  17. sh63145a

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

  18. PrintnPost

    thats cool!…How Do i get me one of those : )

  19. JTPRATT's Blogging Mistakes

    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?

  20. jim

    Hahaha linkbait!

  21. SonicReducer

    Those are sweet. You know what else are cool, those dot portraits they do in the wall street journal.

  22. chrisblogging.com

    This is quite impressive. I love this type of “art.”

  23. Get Featured

    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.

  24. Travel Notebook

    Looks like you have steam coming off your head lol

  25. Travel Notebook

    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

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

  27. kansieo

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

  28. Deelip

    I know how to make this at least.

  29. Grivon

    … check it … time to hit the hay :S

  30. Grivon

    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?!

  31. Paul Bradish

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

  32. Grayson De Ritis

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

  33. Daniel Vukadinovic

    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

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

    How do you even do somthing like that!?

  35. Derrick Shields

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

  36. imnotadoctor

    Brings me back to the days of “BBS”

  37. Shannon

    Yeah, I have a bunch on my Facebook site. UShibby dot com.

    Later,
