Silhouette Inside Circle - $50 PRIZE! -- ENDS 10/17/2009 11:59PM PST

Drawing Needed: Silhouette of a conductor inside circular shape with music notes.
Prize Money: $50 (PayPal ONLY).
Winner Determined by: MY opinion of the best drawing posted.
Time Limit: 01/07/2009 @ 11:59PM PST, OR as soon as someone posts what I’m looking for or something else I like. Contest may be withdrawn if there is no winner. If I feel like I need to extend it to pick a winner, I may do that as well, but I don’t intend to as of the beginning of this contest.
General Job Description: There needs to be a silhouette of a conductor facing backwards wearing a suit with coattails. The conductor should be in a similar position like my first picture below and should be holding the baton in the right hand. Please do not add anymore hair than what is on my sample picture. There needs to be a border around him in the shape of a circle. The circle should be thick like my sample and should possibly have music notes around it just like my sample. The music notes border idea came from the second picture, but please make sure the notes are at least touching the border in some way. If you can somehow incorporate the gray-white-blue background or maybe even a globe shape in that same area, that might be good too.
Font to be used: NONE
Colors to be used: Black, White, Gray; MAYBE shades of blue or green.
Basic Look:


The border idea came from here:
