The Ask: The Carle Auditory Oral School (CAOS) required a recurring t-shirt design for their annual walkathon. They wanted a series of original characters that would evolve each year, following a narrative "adventure" that would build excitement for students and families returning to the event.
The Solution: I developed a cast of characters and a consistent illustrative style that allowed for infinite storytelling possibilities. Each year, I designed a new scene and adventure, moving from initial pencil sketches to finalized vector art. This approach turned the event apparel into a collectible series that the community looked forward to every year.
