Ask yourself: why would a designer need that illustration?
I try to illustrate the theme " the kid in you " i try to convince this showing the opposite .
what about creating illustrations based on

It could work, but you'd need to ask yourself what you can do better than the gazillions on that topic which are already on all of the sites. Or what you could do different, but is still what enough buyers want to make it worth your while.
