    paper T-Shirt Design 5K Run / Fig Festival

    This is a 5K trail run on the Spruill Conservation Farm in Roper, North Carolina. The Farm has fields, woods with trails, and beautiful shoreline with 3 campsites right at the water’s edge and kayaks for rent.

    This image shows figs and runners and paddlers and is based on an actual location on the Farm. There is a bit of word play with the question: ‘How do you fig?’ and the answers ‘We jam!’ (make fig jam), ‘I preserve’ which refers both to fig preserves and to preservation of natural environments.

    Humor, cartoon, and landscape together, plus lettering to communicate the event.
