I wanted to have an illustrated version of Norm, our university mascot but there was not one available. I took this as an opportunity to really work on my illustration development. After 2 years of use and edits the athletic department wants to trademark my design for extended use - pretty exciting:-) My favorite part are his custom sneakers - "Niner Dunks". I am really into snaekers so I wanted to make sure Norm's feet were taken care of. The design has become very popular on campus and the Athletics department has made plans to work on a logo version based on the design.
