Children's book illustrator

I need an illustrator for my book about the adventures of my dog, Bennett. This will entail the transformation of picture characters into caricatures or cartoons for placement in the book. Additionally, other elements of each page will demand the same attention. Close contact between the author and illustrator is necessary. Two samples are uploaded, Bennett the main character and a cactus that will need transformation into a character. If interested, submitted sketches of each one are necessary for consideration prior to any award.
Thanks for your consideration.
