Have you been Iconized?
So I emailed Emily, the proprietor of textually.org and picturephoning.com, and asked whether a friend sketched that icon of her or whether there's an online service that converts photos into cartoon graphics. She wrote back:
"I had it made by Iconize-Me. I think it's for Mac users only."
It's an interesting little indie site that says "over 750 people all over the world have been Iconized" at $15 a pop.
I know of other services, like Kodak's Cartoon Maker, which convert photos into cartoons, with less-than-satisfactory results.
It would be cool to be able to "iconize" pictures of friends (for free or a modest price) and send it to them. Anyone know of other graphic conversion programs?

I've done this with photoshop... I can't seem to remember how, though. I do believe it was using the "cutout" function with a small amount of colors (like 8) on Photoshop 5.0 (I know... it's old... hopefully newer programs still have this functionality). You'd have to have photoshop to do this

Thanks for the mention! I looked at Iconize-Me again, and they offer this service to PC users too.
