I like these, they remind me of the old typewriter art. Remember them?

Yes I used to love those Sharke, but imagine having to do it on a real typewriter!

There are various "ASCII Art Generator" programs that can create them from your own photos.

Wow, these are cool Steve! If they're all yours, I think you need to create a website to showcase 'em!

Thanks mate

I did them all myself following the guidelines in this tutorial:

My method is slightly different, as I only have Photoshop Elements and had to adapt the Photoshop workflow a bit.

Mind you, achieving this effect would be extremely difficult in the 'standard' version of PSE as it doesn't come with the essential Select>Colour Range command. However, I do have that feature as part of the wonderful Elements XXL2 plug-in I got recently (the same plug-in that has the 'focus stacking' feature I used in a previous thread).

I also want to see if I can adapt this cool Photoshop technique (by the same guy) for Elements:

Saved for later viewing when I have time! Looks like there's lots of wonderful time-wasting tricks out there.

Another suggestion:

Me (bapu) and all my posts from the FSF.

Here's a quickie - if you send me a biggish head + shoulders shot, and what text you want, I'll have a crack at it laterer.

You should be shot for that

And you probably would have been if you'd lived back in the USSR, ya?

one of Churchill's greatest speeches, I believe directed at Eisenhower and DeGaulle:

"Never have so few, done so little, and received so much credit"

Churchill would never have said anything like that about Eisenhower. DeGaulle maybe, but not Eisenhower. However, Churchill never said that quote at all. Here's what you're probably referring to:
