Fiverr is an online marketplace where users offer a specific service that people can purchase for $5 or more. Trend Hunter decided to get involved in the Fiverr community, testing what we could do on the innovative site for a few thousand dollars. This is when we found viser1000, a user willing to draw anyone -- in Trend Hunter's case, our founder, CEO and fearless leader Jeremy Gutsche -- in a superhero style.
The superhero version of Jeremy, complete with a skin-tight purple suit, cost only $5 to create. Like the IRL Jeremy Gutsche, this cartoon superhero version has an uncanny ability to predict the future. One could only assume his specialty is predicting future trends.
