I know it looks kinda crude, but it was the best I could do with two
minutes left on the net for today...

Yes...here's a Java app. program that does it for you.  You just click
on where it says "Start Ascii Draw", and after it all finishes loading,
you take yer mouse and start drawing(hold the mouse button down while
dragging your line), then press where it says to convert (or whatever it
says, I forget exactly) and ta da...you see you little masterpiece in
ascii form for you cut and paste to Notepad, then use.  Have fun!

How the heck do you figure out how to make art doing this ascii art 
stuff? It seems difficult. Is there a program which makes it easier?

yup, there is!

(Though, no _real_ ascii artists use one)

Drawing:

Ascii Paint [Mac]
The Draw [PC] (Ascii and ANSI)

Lettering

FIGlet [Most platforms]

Converting

Gif2ANSI [PC]

I'm also aware of a mac-program for converting PICTS to ascii, 
anyone know how to get this and it's name?

(I know of a site, but it's always busy)
<whacked.l0pht.com>

Elaine: Search for any of these names on f.ex:
<http://www.filez.com>

If you want to learn it the old fashioned way, take a look
at the tutorial and the ASCII art FAQ at:

Wicked Ascii Art <http://home.sol.no/kseide/Ascii>

Sincerely,
Erik (obsessed on promoting my Ascii site)
