Elemental Investigators is a non-profit after school program focusing on experimental and hypothesis driven science and STEM subjects. 

My friends who founded the organization were just starting out and wanted something fun and engaging to be their logo/mascot for the non-profit. Using their kids as my inspiration, I made this illustration.

if you're in the San Marcos, CA area, you should definitely check out their program: http://www.elementalinvestigators.org/
