We love a good creative challenge on social media, and right now there's one going on that presses all the right buttons. 

The #ToonMe challenge was kicked off a couple of weeks ago by artist and illustrator René Córdova, and it's caught on big-time. We were alerted to it by a tweet from our old friend Ben the Illustrator, and since then we've fallen down an online rabbit hole of people all over the world partly overpainting selfies with cartoon versions of themselves.
