I recognize the one in the 4th column, 3nd row from themeforest.net


Found it! Here it is on his site: http://i.imgur.com/9rFCs.png

And here it is on themeforest.net: http://themeforest.net/item/business-solutions/152308


Props!

(Wonders if this feat can be replicated for the woman with the orange background and no text...nah, probably not.)


Looks like a recoloring of a photo of Rachael Leigh Cook.

This search result is only good for 72 hours but http://www.tineye.com/search/8177b52b0e52f8b05e164b65ed2428f... Some of the links from the search page are NSFW. If that's dead just paste the URL of the image you want to search for (http://www.alittlebitofsomething.co.uk/images/folio_rlc.gif) into http://www.tineye.com/ .


It also looks like all the other sites follow the exact same HTML conventions and styling. Some are done in PHP and some in ASP (...) Since you found "birdrating.com" on themeforest, and since they all follow similar conventions, it's plausible that the others come from themeforest as well.

Thanks!


At ~$2000 / site (which may be negotiable), I doubt he's doing them all from scratch. It seems he does the graphics, text, and setup.

He might be more run-of-the-mill than brilliant. But then, he probably knows a lot more than his client, and he's trying to drive that point in.


On the other hand, he says he's like the guy who does finish work on the underside of a cabinet and indicates this is why he's not exactly happy with his financial situation. (I am not a hacker, so I can only infer based on his remarks, not judge what he's posted in terms of a portfolio.)
