I'm looking for a little help with some graphic design work I need. Does anyone know of a relatively easy to use site where I can have a few custom graphics made up? I'm not looking for a large scale huge project, I just need some hand drawn cartoons drawn up. I was looking for something like we get with internetjock,com for our audio, where it is completely done over the web.
If it's clip art, Microsoft Clip Art (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/images/) is a good one. The advantage being you can edit the clip arts to best suit your requirements.
You can also search in Google itself (Advanced search, and give file type as Line drawing). Most of the line sketches will be black. To give it more of a pencil drawn effect, you can take it to PPT, and recolor with pencil grey.
Odesk might work. We have some very specific corporate hand drawn graphics that we need some work on. Poornima, I agree, ppt is terrific for the things you mentioned, and those ideas you have a great, but this project is some work on commercial grade corporate items.

You could try a freelance site like odesk.com (there are many others)
In case you would like to give a try by yourself...
Honestly, Power point is the greatest place to start. You can do wonders with the freeform, bevel tool etc.
For instance, the Carnival template I talked about in my blog (http://poorniwrites.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/the-love-at-first-sight-look-some-easy-tips-to-design-your-course-template/) is built exclusively in Power Point (except for the joker clip art).

You will find some character animations in http://designcomics.com/.
