It could, but I'm not going to try. I don't have a good program for
drawing in braille, just for converting black and white images to it.

I've seen software to rotate ASCII art 90 or 180 degrees, I'd have to
hunt pretty hard to find it again I think. But I can imagine a program
to transcode ASCII art to braille as well. I don't think it would work
as neatly as a hand done translation though.
