That's a pic I made in december :

It's based on a photo of a known person. The first one who guess who
it is wins a dedicated version ... :o)

I've no idea who that is a picture of, but not because of lack of skill on your
part. That is some nice art-work you did (cool enough to inspire me to post to
group I usually just read). Do you have a page with more pictures? Or
tips/advice on how someone can become that proficient at protraying photos with
text? I've messed around some but as of yet remain unsatisfied with my results.

I am drawn to the medium of ASCII art because of its simplistic and suggestive
beauty. It reminds me of what Leonardo could do with a pencil and paper. A fews
lines here and a slash there and suddenly a form takes shape. Maximum
definition with minimum communication. Simple and powerful.

PS  I hope you post the dedicated version here instead of just giving it to the
correct guesser.
