• Answer:

  What you are looking for is called "ascii art". This is a good ascii words generator: http://www.network-science.de/ascii/ This site lets you upload a picture from your harddrive or link to a picture from the net and turns it into ascii art: http://www.glassgiant.com/ascii/ And these are some sites with nice ascii art collections: http://www.chris.com/ascii/ http://www.ascii-art.de/ http://www.asciiartfarts.com/index.html http://www.asciiworld.com/ http://asciiartgallery.com/ - page takes about 20 sec. to load, but is worth it http://www.textfiles.com/art/ But of course there are many more, good hunting...:-) http://www.ehow.com/how_2083245_make-ascii-art.html - and this is a tutorial which teaches you how to do it yourself.
