Thanks for all the comments :D

As to the process for the 'drawn' ones, i simply used photoshop, went into filter > artsitic > cutout and you just play about with the number of levels, edge simplicity and edge fidelity until you get the effect you like, dont always work aswell as some images do.

# 8 micro imreaza is hilarious

The four graphic ones I like, I could see these being used as backdrops on websites etc.

Not so keen on the outline stuff, but I do see this kind of thing being sold at motorsport events.

The micro machine shots are hilarious, again I've seen this sort of thing on sale at events. But only ever from sketches, not photographs.
