Waxman Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Staff Writer Aug 20, 2015 8:17 PM CUT A new website will turn any photo into a mosaic of emojis. Web developer, Eric Andrew Lewis, who works at the _New York Times_, created [this site](http://ericandrewlewis.github.io/emoji-mosaic/ "undefined") where users can upload a photo and save the emoji-fied creation to their computers. Below is how it depicted a corgi spotted on a Manhattan street on a sunny day. Some parts of the dog’s brown fur are made up of poop emojis and chocolate frosted donuts, while the shadow is made up of black graduation caps and VHS tapes. See for yourself, and have fun making your own portraits [here](http://ericandrewlewis.github.io/emoji-mosaic/ "undefined"): Original:  Olivia B.
