Hello Elliot.

Normally it is easy to convert a picture with only 2 bit. The standard program (DOS) for
this is called 'gifscii'. If you want a Windows program with some editing functions you
can try my program 'ASCII Editor' (on my Homepage).
Before you convert the picture you should rezise it first with a painting program. The
ASCII converters can make that too, but the results aren't so good. The programs set 1
character per pixel (width of the picture shouldn't be more than 90pixels). Than you can
optimize the ASCII pic manually. This could difficult if the picture has many details. :-)

If you only want to convert one picture, you can send it to my email and I will make it.
