Fake ASCII Image

Hey, I am going to show a quick way to make it look like you spent forever making random text look like a picture.

First get your picture...
I am using the Mona Lisa


Past your picture and then delete background layer....

Now select the text tool, and set the font to Vrinda (If you dont have it, use any thing thats not fancy) and make the size 12. Now make asdfjkl; in white.... copy, paste it all over till it fills up the picture.
You should have something like this:


Now click on the layer with your picture, and add a layer mask... after that hold CTRL and click the T icon on the text layer. You have the text selected now. Now inverse it by pressing CTRL+Shift+I. Ok now hide the text layer...

Make sure either your foreground or background is black, and go to edit -> fill...
where it say use: "foreground"... change that which every is black.

Ok now press CTRL + D and create a new layer (ALT+CTRL+N) and drag it to the bottom of all the layers... and fill it with black.... Looks cool huh?

My final result:
