Pawson Knox was developed as a mascot for P.U.N.T. Pediatric Cancer Collaborative, with a stuffed toy being sold at Wegmans, for Childhood Cancer Awareness month. It's a Rhodesian Ridgeback based on Dawson Knox's real-life dog.
But the stuffed animal needed a digital illustration to be more versatile for marketing and promotions. And because P.U.N.T. is a child-centered organization, Pawson was created in a children's book style of illustration, ensuring children and adults alike will fall in love with him and the worthy cause he promotes!
