For an Idea of what I am looking for it is something like this:

    Using brushes could be one way, but your example may be a bit ambiguous.

    Do you know how to set up custom brushes in Illustrator?

    I have an idea of how to make brushes, but you think something like this could be accomplished with them?  I can't really think of how I would do it.

    For a simper example, I'm looking to do something kinda like this, but with any shape.  I could do it with offset path, but that makes each circle a separate object, and if I want to manipulate the path, I have to do it all over again.
