Default 3D Head out of text? how can this be done?

Hi everyone.
I am trying to manipulate a body of text into a 3D head.
That is; i wish for my lines of text to spiral accross and around the head, following the contours of an already generated 3D model, But for the head model to be removed leaving a ghostly impression of the face.

I have started by making a model of a head then i think i need to play around with the UV MAP but i am new to 3D design programs and have got stuck. I am using Lightwave but would be willing to change to 3D Max or MAYA.
Can anyone help me out?

Many thanks
