Default Where do you get one of those vector portraits?
It seems like everyone's got one of these now. Assuming you don't know how to make your own, does anyone know how much these things cost and who does them?

Or is it easy to make your own? I can't figure out if these are hand drawn in Illustrator or if there's some feature in Photoshop that will convert a photo into a vector portrait.

Thanks for any tips!

Thanks for the links, Toon!
I'm going to try the befunky site if they let me into their beta. Uvatars sound like what I need. And IamCartoon also looks interesting...

what do you mean by vector portait? like a photo but it looks like vector with different colours? or just a plane colour of an image?

100 invites is always a bad idea, 5, then 25, then 50, then 100, these startups will never learn
