Banknote-styled patterns

[Random_User]

Hello,
Banknotes often feature cool images (usually distinguished persons) composed of thin lines with waves etc. Does anyone have an idea how to turn photos into such patterns?

Would be great

That would be great.

I just went home from work today and had an Idea to print some banknotes of my design for my friends(as a novelty) with their faces on them. Hopefully somebody has done such a thing before my Idea popped up...
