[...] I know at least 2 real life bloggers who made their portrait caricatures here – Darren Rowse at Problogger and Steve Rubel at Micropersuasion. Maybe I will get a caricature of myself when I am famous enough! [...]

I love this! I have been trying to find a good caricature artist to have one done for my small business startup site.

Thanks for sharing.

You seriously look like Steve Jobs in that one! :)

Thomas, brilliant idea. And I really like Jose’s style. Looking over Shalimar’s samples, haven’t I seen this same style in Wired Magazine? Hm, maybe-

I have no clue about these guys, but the likeness on both of you is pretty good! I’ve always recommend caricatures .. I’ve been using them online for years and we have one wall in our back room filled with original art! In case anybody’s interested.. here’s mine (btw – it was done at DisneyLand, California 2001)
HART’s Caricature
I’ve got about 6 more around my personal blogsite of different poses, including one of us and our pets. They’re great on T-Shirts too :-) We also converted the ones on the heading of our site into Medieval Flags for our wedding.

I ordered one and if I like it I’m going to order a second one of my girlfriend. I’m planning to get it printed just like a poster, should be a nice gift for Christmas :)

Hey great icon, I’ve been putting it off for about 2 months now, but I’m going to go ahead and get mine done now.

I’m curious about how much more business they will receive now since you have had one done. Could you follow up with them in the next couple of weeks?

I feel like you are becoming the Oprah of web blog, if you do it, then everybody will follow and along with your stats, they will probably have more business than ever.

I really like that. And the lip color I think balances out the red eraser back and that other red thing floating behind your head, so it balances the pic.

ChrisH, it could also be just an old fashioned screw gone loose…

row1, that’s an electrical terminal lug – not unlike how your car battery is connected. The wire runs from the lug to the pencil, thus cleverly implying both the wired and writing elements of what Darren does.

Ha! Thats styling :)

Now what’d be cool is if you could get it to be your favicon. Do they do pixelgraphic versions too?

Shweet.

Both yours and Steve’s looks like it was done by the same guy. I don’t particularly like his style. There’s kind of a weird look to it. – can’t put my finger on it, but it just looks a little creepy.

Darren, better get a lot of bandwidth for that one.

I notice something very similar about both yours and mine Steve…a lack of covering on top. We should start a blog network for bald (ish) bloggers….

The Chinese believe thick eyebrows are a sign of prosperity and good fortune. Looks like you’ve got a lot of both!
