mosaic from album art

I haven't played in Photoshop in a few weeks and went looking for a way to make a digital mosaic because I'm thinking of using one for a project at some point and BOY did I find something fun.  That was a run-on sentence of grammaticalnormous proportions.  So, MacOSaiX turns your image into a mosaic. Yep, it's for Mac.  It's incredibly easy — download the program, select the image you want to use, and select the source images for the mosaic.  The program does everything for you and you end up with something like this.

The mosaic created from my iTunes album art —

It used all 429 albums in my iTunes.  Yeah.

Yes, it's quite the album collection on my face.  Stevie Nicks in my eye.  And Rick Astley on my lip.  And New Order on my nose.  And I spy at least three '80s compilation albums, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, and lots of Beatles.  I'm loving this program.
