Iconize Me! – Custom caricatures

Iconize meWho hasn’t fallen victim at least once in their lifetime to caricature artists camped out on the waterfront or pier? I know the point of caricatures is to emphasize certain physical attributes. I was always a bit disappointed what features the artists would pick to emphasize on me. And no, the choice to get myself drawn was not my own. It was usually decided by whoever I was with. Anyway, I remember this one time I had one done with an girlfriend. The artist appropriately emphasized her great smile and twinkling eyes. What did the artists emphasize on me? My adams apple and ears… WTF right? First of all my ears aren’t big to begin with… ergh.

Moving on. Iconize Me! will take a digital still of you and transform it into a decent caricature. I was looking through the examples and was quite pleased with the results. They aren’t free though. There is a small $15 fee. I’m curious to know whether there are any decent UNEASY readers with comparable skills? Let us know, you could be of some use :)
