It's certainly......interesting! I find the skinny arm on the left and the exaggerated elbow on the right downright funny!
Interesting idea. Not sure I'd show it to the client, but for an attention getting ad it might work well! On the other hand, my wife (not the subject) likes it better than the original. Clever!
You do good work.
