You can also make creative use of any available "grid" and gimp's bucket-fill function if you first make sure that your face image and the grid image are the same physical size. Following, ...the grid matrix is actually too large, but I used it to emphasize the technique.
The grid is actually from a seamless pattern that I cooked up, with transparent cells. made an image from that to suit the final image size. Copied the face image to load it into the clipboard, selected the clipboard image in "patterns", set bucket fill to paint the pattern, and then painted the pattern carefully on one wire with a high threshold setting, and then set the final product over the blue background.
You can get a range of effects by trying several different settings for the threshold level as well as opacity of the bucket fill operation. And once again, this particular mesh is too large, just for illustration purposes. This image actually looks better if you stand about 10 feet away from your screen
