Need a janitor/plumber clipart style of monopoly man

[signmeup]

Anyone know where I can find a clipart janitor/plumber man running and holding a bunch of tools? I need a classic 50's style logo and the monopoly man is the best way I can describe the look I'm thinking of. The style of Dan Antonelli's "Courtesy Cleaners" man would be another example of what I'm looking for. Any running guy would do...I can add the tools.

I might have found a perfect guy for you! This is one of my favorite new sites!

Hey....he's got the right look. Thanks!

My intention is to gather a few examples like that up and then clean up the customers existing logo in that style.

Here is what the customer is using now. I want to clean this up so you tell what it is a little better. I think it's gone through a few autoscans and it's lost it's detail.

Here's what I ended up with.

I have always loved those guys.
They have a nostalgic charm that never goes out of style.
There is one on Brian the Brush's ABCDesign CD.
Love....Jill

Nice. I like the update and clean look you gave to it. Good job!

I think some more personalized eyes would do wonders for this little guy!

That looks great Heath. Thanks! Here he is with better eyes and a few other very minor tweaks.

You don't think he's too "Charlie Brown" now?

 

[TheSellOut]

no, not at all...totally fits his style and he looks much nicer!! I looked at the Monopoly man, as you mentioned, for some inspiration.

Well the plumber one is better .. that one you cleaned up is a painter or mix of window cleaner guy..does not fit plumber at all

I"m fairly sure that you can find the inspiration for that particular image from a book titled "Mostly Happy Clip Art of the 30'S, 40'S, and 50's". I think it's a stock item at Barnes and Nobles.

Craig, He's not a plumber...he's a cleaner.
I decided to give him a new face. Whadda ya think?

 

[Jillbeans]

I think I liked his old face.
SSG that book sounds like a must-have.
I love the title!

Here's how it came out. I decided to give the little guy some colour. The customer loved it. Great customer too.....didn't ask for a single change.
