What do you guys think of this idea? I live by the French Quarter. I set up a booth in the square with my digital camera, laptop, and a printer. I take peoples pictures, goo them out in photoshop, print them out and charge them 25 bucks? What do you think? Will it work? Do people want stuff like this?
THis is a more surreal version of what people would get.

I personally wouldn't pay for anything like that, and I don't think the 'average' person would either. It's just too weird and freakish . With that said I think there could be a market for this type of oddity among strange adults and freaky teens, so depending on where u set up shop there could be money to be made...maybe, but if I were you I wouldn't count on it  |

yeah dude... but how long does it take to do these things... people wont want to wait more than 2 or 3 minutes + printing time.... then again u might just get a whole slew of people coming up to you for this and willing to wait... also, remember to accentuate good features but nothing that they would be upset at (kick) you for.... you should look up some stuff on charicature artists and practice... very cool work by the way
especially the playboy ones... although my friends would probably kick my ass if i put them on those bodies

The first playboy one looks like it really needed a different picture, the head is just not working...the second one is much better. People already do pay for this kind of thing. They have a booth setup in Vegas, I think at NYNY....
