Hey Yats, I have a problem which needs help from an artistic member of WhoDat Nation.

It is time for me to go on a self-promotion tour, a must in my biz. ( no, I havent been fired, and everything is cool-- you just have to keep your portfolio current, and seize various opportunities)

I have a specific vision for my new promotional material, and one part is a caracature of myself as a trademark image. Think of Jerry Lewis or Jay Leno's trademark caracatures--- something in that spirit.

So, what I need is someone who can look at a couple of pictures of me, draw something fun, and put me in a cartoonish pose. Im trying to relay a coming-to-the-rescue image for my wedding business, particularly. Im visualizing a cartoon image of myself speeding along in a silly, out-of-scale-drawn helicopter, hair blowing back, presumably to rescue some poor bride who's wedding party is in danger of sucking.

Im not so much about looking "pretty," as I am looking relatable and competent.

I'll gladly pay you for this, should I use your work.

I can't draw. It would turn out like this. Otherwise I would be glad to help.

LOL.. If I dont have any luck, I might resort to stick figures.

Dancing bride, family, dj in background. might be kind of amusing.

Join up to the graphic design group.

New Orleans Saints - Black and Gold - Graphics

Besides the people with requests, there are actually some decent artists in there. I'm one of them, but caricatures are not my specialty. Maybe we can get you some help in there.
