Designers from fields such as clothing design, music, and skateboarding were presented with the task of creating a one of a kind collaboration based off of the Dr. Pepper can.

One of these competitors was Graphic Artist Tracy Tubera, who's design is shown above. Tubera first designed a sketch of his character, which was then turned into a 3d model, and lastly turned into a one-of-a-kind resin figure, with the help of Pretty In Plastic.
