Dont see any (pic mode ASCII) art there
Anyways in outline (org!)…

* Lookup ditaa: http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/
* Install (apt/sourceforge/org/whatever)
* (re)do your pic for ditaa
* Get it working to your satisfaction (no emacs or org so far; just shell)
* Get it running in org http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-ditaa.html
