Avoiding long and tedious work

how about fooling with levels or contrast until you have a 2 color picture, black and white. you'll have to spotcheck and then some blurring or something, but it might work.

threshold also hold potential

This was my first idea, which I tried. Unfortunately I can't get a shot of this stupid record cover without having some parts brighter than the other. Which gave me a bit of a problem. I tried a few different methods (which included some custom drawing to fix the brightness difference) in the end I came out with such a low quality image it wasn't worth going on.

Damn utopian, you sure you're using google? I search for atleast a dozen different things and all I found were crappy images of flowers and wedding plans. "Corner flower designs" - "Floral corners" etc...

Thanks everyone
