  Sure – I actually generated a couple images using the Unix “netpbm” tools and ImageMagick…
  
  Basically (on a machine with netpbm and ImageMagick):
  $ convert image.[png/jpg/etc] image.pbm $ pbmtoln03 image.pbm image.sixel
  Check out the samples in sixel.zip, here’s a screenshot of the two SIXELs:
