Some fun with imagestring:
This function is a product of too much time..
It opens an image and create a new image with one letter instead of a pixel.
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/**
* generates a image with chars instead of pixels
*
* @param string $url Filepath or url
* @param string $chars The chars which should replace the pixels
* @param int $shrpns Sharpness (2 = every second pixel, 1 = every pixel ... )
* @param int $size
* @param int $weight font-weight/size
* @return sesource

function pixelfuck($url, $chars='ewk34543§G§$§$Tg34g4g', $shrpns=1, $size=4,$weight=2)
{
list($w, $h, $type) = getimagesize($url);
$resource = imagecreatefromstring(file_get_contents($url));
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($w*$size,$h*$size);
$cc = strlen($chars);

return $img;

$url = 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Manga_Icon.png';

Have fun :)
