Get the Wall Street Journal to do an article about you, which is how I assume Kent did it.

Yep. Fulfillment of a childhood dream, that. I'm just sad Ward didn't get his picture in there too. He doesn't get his (large) share of the credit.

What was the article about? XP?

Surely Ward will get his picture in the WSJ in some kind of article about Wikis, if it hasn't happened already.

Do you have mathematica installed?

nope. seems like a bunch of nice ideas but the results are not even close in style and "artistic quality" to Kent's photo or the original example from mathematica.stockechange... seems like the only way to have it done by an artist... or maybe combine by hand contours and "fills" generated by the different techniques in that thread... anyway, thanks a lot for the link, whenever I'll be in the mood of wanting to sharpen my artistic sword I'll take a shot at this...

I think a real artist is required for the authentic effect. I asked for the original and was firmly told that it goes into their archives.

There are some automatic engraving algorithms out there you could try.
