The Eleventy Mascot is becoming a series! Our project has continued with its pseudo-regular refresh of the famed possum on a balloon and the latest in the series is from acclaimed designer, illustrator, and author Geri Coady!

I really like this iteration and the unique style Geri brought to the project—especially the addition of two littles, which to me is a lovely nod to how our community has grown!

Geri Coady is a color-obsessed Canadian illustrator and designer living in Nottingham, UK. A former ad agency art director, she has worked with companies including Simply Accessible, Nokia Withings, Scholastic, and A List Apart, as well as numerous magazines including Courier and Standart.
