image2ascii should come with convert which is part of ImageMagick.

And you can set the size too.

image2ascii -geometry 50x50 ~/file.pnm

There are other ways too.  Launch the pic in aview and mouse the image
into your editor.

You spend 2 years without instlling a mouse, sound, or graphics driver
on your system and you learn a few things about creating ascii images
from source files. :)
