Fiverr is a web site where people offer to do something for $5 — design a logo, perk up a Facebook page, write a song. You name it.

I went on Fiverr looking for someone who could photo manipulate an image I use on this website. I didn’t find anyone for that specific job, but I was amused in passing to discover people offering other tasks, such as traffic biz, who will convert a photo into pop art. I supplied a photo and a caption and … voilá:

pop art portrait through fiverr.

Of course then I couldn’t resist asking Triple Eight for a caricature.

(It’s a good thing I have a sense of humour.)

Next, this, from kshatriya, a portrait I might actually use:

 portrait through fiverr.

All fairly fun for a grand total of $15.

Now this has me thinking of all sorts of mischief I might get into using photos of friends and family. ;-)

(Or, for that matter, portraits of my historical characters.)

I’d love to see what you come up with if you try Fiverr.com.
