What filter is this?

# Haha
no idea. Not convinced it's just a filter though. Are you sure it's not just a straight digital drawing/painting?
I'm trying to think what I'd use if I was going to try to emulate this from a photo using automation...
I guess one possibility would be to use a vector auto-trace, save to a bitmap format, then filter or distort (for instance, liquify) the result.
If it is just a straight filter, it's a really nice one.

# Well, yes, it is a filter in a way.
My employer just gave me a new iphone so we can update shared calendars and stuff etc...

I found a free app called ToonPAINT (from a company called Toon-FX) that does just what you see above. The only problem is that it works with images already on the phone or fed directly from the camera.

EDIT: if you stalk my profile, you'll see another one

# Wow, very impressive.
Does it work with color images?

# Yes, but iIt won't process the output as color, only about 3 values of gray
On the iphone app, you can then color it in (meh)

# So it's a free app?
Does that mean it serves up ads?

# Yes, it is free. no ads,
It pops up a nag about every 4th time I've launched it, asking to send a note about how I like it
