Have a look at them carefully and you can see that images are actually painted on top of background made from letters.

For example in this: http://www.ionbox.org/wallpapers/ascii_tux.png

You can see individual letters fading from one side to another which is impossible to do. Also orange colour partially covers surrounding letters.

You can see the difference clearly if you compare it to, for example, this: http://www.arkworld.com/ascii/disney/sleepb.htm
