Artwork supplier

Does anyone have any suggestions for a person/commercial service that can convert photographs into pen & ink style images for laser engraving. These are head shots of people. I have people who can do other, non people art but my go to guy I just discovered is deployed to Afghanistan. I need 6-7 images done in the next couple weeks.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Would something like the photo to sketch program work?

Thanks for the suggestion but I need fairly high quality images. These are for large plaques for a new Hall of Fame for a school district.

I always hired my employees from student placement at the local art institute, mostly graphic design majors but most of them were very capable at drawing. You might try that source and do a part-time on-call or even let the person do it from home piecemeal. Most big cities have an art institute and/or other art schools with a placement office.
