Year after year, on New Year's Day, a few hundred insane folks gather in Cayucos, California to jump in the chilly Pacific Ocean. People dress in costumes, and entire families come out to enjoy the frosty festivities.
A couple years back I was asked to create the design for the event's t-shirts. Here's my version of the bear jumping off the Cayucos Pier! (you're actually not allowed to do that, but I thought it would be fun.)
