Here is a strange website: The Sheep Market
The owners of The Sheep Market have paid people online to draw a sheep facing left. No other guidlines where provided. The ‘brushstrokes’ of the artist are captured and are replayed when you select a sheep. You can buy a block (4x5) of sheep as lickable adhesive stamps complete with a certificate of authenticity in a collectable package for US$20 each.
Each drawer was paid 2 cents each for their efforts. That is $0.40 for a set of 20 sheep (or $200 for 10,000 sheep - the number of sheep on the website). Even with additional expenditure for the website, design, materials etc. these guys probably have a healthy profit margin.
