Modify this pen and ink drawing

I want to create a new logo from one I had done 40 years ago in the same style. If you take a look at the drawing you’re going to see a man in profile with a pretty wild haircut. In his hand he’s holding a paintbrush and he has painted a checkerboard that goes off into infinity. In the box located in front of him you’ll see the initials MCI. I want to man to lose the paintbrush instead of having his finger and thumb clasping the paintbrush I want his thumb down and his hand open and where the checkerboard is currently I want to have the word ISwimmer. The box that is currently there with initials MCI can go away completely and so can the design that surrounds the man’s nose mouth chin and hair that’s in the circular bubble around his face. This is the general configuration I want for his hand… Still coming out from behind his face also I want the “ISwimmer” word To have the same perspective and placement as the checkerboard (going off into infinity). Once this is completed I want to take a look at the result. I like the sinews and his thumb finger and hand and I want to try and keep that idea as well. There may be some question about the circle for the time being I want to try and keep his hand within that circle. His hand may need to be lowered somewhat and smaller than it currently is but only slightly smaller.
