This Artist Creates Cartoon Characters From Photos That Strangers Send Him

Robert DeJesus is an artist who originally started out drawing cartoon versions of people for fun, but soon realized he could get paid for doing it so he obviously decided on that path.

Since then, DeJesus has excelled as an artist and people from all over the place send him photos so they can get the special treatment from him. And by that, I mean the cartoon style that DeJesus transforms his subjects into.

He says, “My growing following just really enjoyed the idea of simply looking like a chibi or anime-style character since it was a completely unique twist on the caricature genre most have seen made at carnivals and fairs.

I was flooded with offers to buy a self-portrait of their own selves as a chibi or anime character. So I just started offering profile images for sale since then and it has helped fund my other personal projects I’ve been also wanting to work on.”

Let’s take a look at his great work!
