Work/life balance got you down? Take a load off this afternoon with this emoji portrait maker.

Via Gizmodo, the simple tool was made by Eric Andrew Lewis, a web developer at The New York Times. 

It’s so easy. You just take any photo (the bigger the better) and load it into the tool. Within seconds, you’ll have a new portrait composed completely of emojis.

Granted some pictures work better than others. Below, here’s a picture of GeekWire’s John Cook (left) and Todd Bishop (right) interviewing T-Mobile CEO John Legere (center) at last year’s GeekWire Summit. You might recognize this shot from our Facebook page:
