Make ascii art from GIF

Hi,

I need a picture of a drum (I have it as a GIF) converted into ascii art.

Could someone please help me??

see, i need help, when you make a picture (gif) and you want to convert it to
ASCII art, does the picture in gif have to be only black and white? or just
lines? or just a regular picture (with colors and all), and the computer/ASCII
converter program will shade it automatically? or is the gif 2 ASCII program
totally different than what i asked?

Because it's a naughty thing to do, that's why. <wags finger>

From the FAQ:

----
    However, the output from these programs is often poor (fiddling
    with the picture in an image-editing program beforehand may help).
    In this case, you can post a request to news:alt.ascii-art asking
    for someone to `asciify' it, but PLEASE DON'T POST THE PICTURE
    ITSELF. To save downloading time for people reading the messages,
    if possible give the URL (Web address) of the picture instead.
...
    and post the URL to alt.ascii-art. If you can't do this, post your
    request to alt.ascii-art and wait for an artist to reply, then
    e-mail the picture to them.
