Oddie Dokie

Illustration
Character Design
2025
Oddie Dokie is a character-driven project featuring eight quirky characters, each with an odd hobby that at first invites criticism, but later proves surprisingly valuable. Each character is captured in a single illustration, showing the funniest moment in their story. Together, they’re here to say: too odd to explain, too fabulous to apologize.
