Albo Group wanted a friendly face along with a retro-themed logo which could then be incorporated into a wrap design for their plumbing services. They were looking for an art style reminiscent of 1950's Americana, to produce imagery that is both appealing and memorable. They wanted a mascot which provided an easy visual identifier as to what services they provided, which could be isolated and used in other parts of their marketing, such as on their Socials and corporate clothing.

Biggar Chill approached me for a brand makeover, and were looking for an updated version of their Polar Bear mascot. They wanted a character which appeared friendly and 'light-hearted,' versatile enough to be illustrated in a variety of poses for use in their social media and offline content. They also required designs for full trailer wraps, measuring 3, 4 and 5 metres in length.
