Ever want to put yourself into a work of art, an athlete’s body, a movie character or musical group? Well here’s your chance. This website allows you to easily upload your digital image for some simple digital photography special effects portraits in these and many other similar situations. Be Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, the French Emperor Napoleon, the American Statue of Liberty, Augute Rodin’s “The Thinker” or the Mona Lisa (be sure to smile now!). Oh go ahead, you know you want to!
Festisite
Here you choose a paper money currency like the dollar, Yen, etc. before uploading your digital image. In step three of four, you might want to re-position your photo for optimum results prior to downloading the finished image of your face on the currency. Share history with the likes of U.S. presidents Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson with your mug on a dollar bill unless you have a “yen” for another currency. You can print it out, just don’t try to spend it! Sets of playing cards can also be personalized at this website. I sure look natural on money, don't I?
