Artwork needed for 'pain' & maybe $

I'm bottling my 'pain' sauce right now & still have no artwork for the label. I know theres a few Graphic Artists frequenting the forum. I'm willing to offer free sauce, lots of thanks & even $ if that's what it takes. My Photoshop skills are about 5 years out of date & I don't have the time to sit & sort it out.
I have:
An idea of what I want
The necessary pictures
Please email me (through my profile) if you can help, so I can attach the files for you.
I don't mind paying for the right result.

Cheers

UPDATE:
It seems that my hotmail account has everyone pinned as Nigerian Spam mongers, so heres the deal:-

Potawie has thankfully given me permission to use one of his fine pepper porn pics. I just wanted to put a set of nerd glasses on it & basically make it look like a nerd head. Evil nerdy grin is also an idea I like. It may need eyes, eyebrows...up to you.

The rest is like the sketch. Just the 2 words. I was thinking grainy old typewriter font lower case for 'pain' A & Z capital on 'AlphanerdZ' - but use your artistic license there - up to you what looks right. I have no taste for design.

I'm hoping to use the chilli-nerd head design for the main part of this label & reduce it to a logo for any future sauces...if I do them.

Do you want the ingredients as well? Or I can pin that bit on later.

Any questions, please ask.

Thanks

Hey Bent,
I just got your images out of my spam filter and I'll see what I can work up for you today and tomorrow.
Any color ideas for the background of the label?
I'll post my progress here if that's ok.
 
How's this??

If you would like help with your label, please contact me directly for proofs.
 
I made mine from scratch, don't I get compliments too? :(
That's right, I made EVERYTHING, nothing was taken from a picture or something.
 
Omri, good to know/see you are a talented illustrator, that's hard to find these days. Nice.
 
Wow - great work everyone! They look great.
I'll try to make a decision on Monday so theres a few days to come up with ideas & recover from hangovers etc.
I really didn't expect such great images so fast -:clap::clap:
Thanks

As were mine, those are all stock images of mine.
Besides making and marketing hot sauce I have supported myself and my family with photography and graphic design for the last 15 years.
The glasses were from a logo from my old hockey team (Hanson Brothers anyone?) and the skull and cross bones is a popular download on the stock image site I sell my wares through. That was a jean jacket patch I designed back in the 90's.
Graphics dropped in via Abode Illustrator CS.
So besides Omri, there are a few other "talented illustrators" on The Hot Pepper, just so you know. ;)

I like it! Is that duct tape on the glasses, too funny.

Thanks Potawie, that would be the Handyman's Secret Weapon holding those coke bottles glasses together.
Like I said in another post, the Hanson Brothers were the inspiration for that image, my recreational hockey team used it for their logo.

I didn't say it wasn't yours, just said that I didn't take any existing material (like you did).
I made everything just for the 'pain' sauce, and I'm kinda spoiled. :lol:
I didn't say I was better than you or anyone else, just said that my work is something special. :rolleyes:

If I wasn't clear, the skull is awesome. :cool:

Hey Big I thought yours was a great concept, but I was fooled, I thought it was clip-art skull and glasses you found! You proved me wrong. Nice job.
