"Photo Montage" will do this for any image (like Starry Night), using your
very own snapshots as those "tiny image" building blocks.
See it here: http://www.arcsoft.com/en/products/photomontage/
The process is automatic. You input the image to be mosaic-ed, plus a
bunch of other images for the tiles. The program does the rest.
It's been around since 1998. I did one back then--my granddaughter's
school portrait using family snapshots. In order to get a good finished
product, the "tiny images" must be really tiny (the program resizes them
for you). But then to print the result so that the tile images are
individually discernable requires going to poster-size. As I recall,
Arcsoft offered poster printing service.
