Illustrations and cartoons for a book

Hi there
I have written a book for widows aiming to help these women learn about and take control of their money, moving them forward on their own.

The book is as "light" as I can make it and I use diagrams and pictures to explain things as simply as I can. I have made the book as uplifting as possible as the idea is to empower and motivate.

I need a cartoon of my widow that will be used about 4 times in the book in different situations along with about 20 simple diagrams. For example I need 5 different handbags and a measuring jug ( I know that sounds bizarre but it does work!)

The other diagrams include simple pie charts, a cartoon of the tax man, the one used in the Inland Revenue ads, an ostrich with head in the sand and a water tank.The most complex cartoon is one with city stockbrokers all shouting and getting the wrong end of the stick, I have an example of that. Obviously I will be able to give you a good description when needed but it sounds more complex saying 24 pictures than it really is so didn't want anyone to be put off thinking they would be taking on a mammoth task.


My widow needs to be ageless, not a granny character. I might have to use black and white for the book but want to be able to use the pictures in other mediums in colour so presumably this is possible to do, simply changing to black and white?

Let me know what else you might need to know.

Thanks
