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.

You can't get that kind of control by running a PS filter over an image

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.
