Poster Image Challenge

OK all you artsy designers out there who happen to be friends with me, I have a challenge for you...and the first interactive aspect of my thesis production:

I'm looking for an image that will be the poster/brand image for my production of "Purgatorio."  Without going into too much detail yet about what the play is about, the image I'm looking for is something that "describes" Medea and Jason through a stylized lens (Art nouveau, Art Deco, Mid-Century Mod, etc).

For example, I love Mucha's poster image for Sarah Bernhardt playing Medea:
Shelley Esaak, former About.com Guide, http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://0.tqn.com/d/arthistory/1/0/Z/o/alphonse_vienna_09_05.jpg&imgrefurl=http://arthistory.about.com/od/from_exhibitions/ig/mucha_belvedere/alphonse_vienna_09_05.htm&usg=__1rL-hf80WamjUdA4m2cg9cCAOU8=&h=1500&w=525&sz=183&hl=en&start=1&sig2=Y2EF7YTCD1uJuQLpUc2Vbw&zoom=1&tbnid=cCwsYGZxbNRX6M:&tbnh=150&tbnw=53&ei=W3KCUaKpL-3L0gG1l4HICQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dmucha%2Bmedea%26hl%3Den%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1&sa=X&ved=0CCwQrQMwAA









But I want something:
   a) Original
   b) Depicting both Medea and Jason (kids optional)
   c) Translates well to black and white


If anyone wants to take up this challenge, the selected artist will receive credit in the program (and my thesis), as well as two free cocktails from Sparetime (meaning my treat), or a comparable value if you're from out of town).  You'd obviously also be able to use the image for your own portfolios and you would retain all rights to the image provided I could use it for publicity purposes for this production.

Let me know if you're interested or have any questions by leaving comments here, or emailing me at ankanter3@gmail.com

Thanks, and happy image-making!
