Hi Guys,
My name is Jim and I own a landscaping business.As summer comes to an end much of our lawn maintenance business starts to slow down.In an effort to boost production during the fall and winter months I have purchased alot of equipment to be used for leaf and debris removal.
I want to print up and distribute fliers promoting this aspect of the business,encouraging potential customers to continue with maintenance through the winter and/or to call us to do their leaf cleanups.
The flyer I envision sending has a picture of a person raking leaves and not looking too happy about it:frowning,sweating,frustrated with leaves falling all around them.Underneath the picture we will add something like,"Avoid doing this...call us!"
I'll check the board often in case you have questions.Thanks for your help.

There is one more thing I would like to add:I want this person raking leaves(preferably a male) to be funny-looking,like a cartoon character,and to be in color.I'll leave you alone now.

[AlexKogan]

...my first stab at it. ;)

[allstar]

Alex,
I like your drawing but could you put some sweat droplets dripping off of him.Thanks.
To everyone,
Could you put a bright sun in the background?We get a lot of warm weather around here and I think that would make the raking look just a little bit more unpleasant.Thanks.
