Those WSJ stipple portraits are done by a human artist?! I've been seriously assuming all this time that they were a Photoshop filter's output.

the WSJ has been around a bit longer than Photoshop....

Yup... that's how they got pictures in the newspaper way back in the day (late 19th century... maybe earlier). I guess what I find a little surprising is that the Wall Street Journal still does it that way.

well DUH

While the artist often use the exact same pose from the picture they're working from, yup, always done by hand. You can't get that kind of control by running a PS filter over an image, and fixing the stippling would be a nightmare. (And she's not the only stipple artist they've used, either.)

I dunno about Photoshop specifically, but what the artist is doing can almost certainly be modelled as applying some fairly complex algorithm to the photo, so a sufficiently fancy filter could reproduce the effect within reasonable limits.
