What a fine portrait. I've always liked that look myself, especially the line edged effect. Any tips on how to emulate that look?

I'm afraid I can't - not that I wouldn't! - as unfortunately the tool I used to do the flattening is a closed Beta we're writing about under serious NDA. I think you can probably emulate it using Illustrator's tracing tools.

However, the bit you really want to know about isn't! The edging is the Photoshop "Poster Edge" filter applied in Illustrator. I can't remember the exact tuning, but it should be easy enough to tweak...

(I see we have quite a few mutual friends around San Jose!)
