I think that you will find most here who do this like to do it themselves
and that is the ART part of it, although some very talented, and artistic soul
created the Program to convert a graphic file into a file pixelated into text charactures
it isnt the same as creating an image based in text, by hand. Granted, it looks interesting,
but the _ART_ was in making the program, not in the file the program puts out. 
to me anyway, thats my take on it.
