location for converting images to ascii art ( http://www.text-imag...vert/ascii.html ) <------tip invert image if you plan on using a black background with light colored text and for default size cmd programs use a character width of 80 or less

a quick way to add code to your ascii art is to go to ( http://textmechanic....ix-to-Text.html ) and add print " as a prefix
and " as a suffix this will save you tons of time and it makes it alot more fun because all you ahve to add to your code is raw_input(" ") for a basic ascii art image or you can add import time time.sleep(4) if you want to use your ascii art as a banner for a program and your banner will appear for the number of seconds provided after time.sleep(here) i have also experimented with making moving asci art by stacking code with decimals of seconds as the amount of time to sleep for the amount of time you want one frame to appear.
Example code below
print"+oooo+/:-` `-osysohmmdhyssyysysooo+oo/+oosooooooooo+o+sossdh/` "
print"/++oo+/-.` `:shhho/ydhhhhyyysssooooooooooo+oooo++++o+++ooossdh/`` "
