My friend Gatis has started new blog karikaturas.lv where he is expressing his biggest passion – drawing.
Recently he started little experiment – he will draw his blog visitors for free.
So, the deal is simple. You just need to send him email with your photo preferably with funny expression and wait for great hand drawn picture (post produced in Adobe Photoshop)

You can already see his first two drawings here and here. So don’t wait too long, send your picture and who knows, maybe you will be lucky enough to get a hand drawn caricature for free.

Research company TNS Latvia has carried out a survey which has shown that a truly impressive number of the inhabitants of Latvia (151 000 or almost 7% of all Latvians) read blogs.
