Project CANVAS was founded upon the principal that within every person lies a wealth of creativity. It’s a project that set out to empower youth and young adults across the world to believe in themselves. People are inspired by Project CANVAS to treat life as a canvas upon which they have the power to create their own masterpiece.

Every Project CANVAS pair of shoes is one-of-a kind, decorated with abstract versions of the three basic primary colors: Blue, Yellow, and Red. The three basic color platform provides a foundation for self-expression, individuality, and creativity.

The Project CANVAS concept is a vibrant, yet simplistic aesthetic that serves as a base for art, culture, and fashion to be expressed in a unique format accessible to all.

“Life is like a canvas. It begins blank and everyday is another brushstroke. Make your life a masterpiece.”

Last week we featured the collaboration between Lakai and Spike Jonze on the Pico sneaker.  Now, we’re highlighting yet another fresh Pico collaboration, this time with Andy Jenkins, art director of Girl Skateboard Company, and close friend of Spike Jonze. Andy is also a proud member of the Art Dump team, a team of creative minds who make up the Girl Skateboard Company’s full-time art department.

Andy Jenkins’ artistic roots started back in Denver, Colorado where he moved when he was 17 and attended art school. He soon moved to California and spent the next several years working as a magazine editor, writer, designer and illustrator. He joined Girl Skateboard Company back in 1994. His work has been featured in several exhibitions worldwide, as well as several magazines and DVDs.

The exclusive Jenkins-designed Lakai Pico is just another one of his creative outlets-- in shoe form. This fresh colorway has a cool grey and yellow combo with Andy’s signature embroidered on the back. Be sure to pick up your own pair today before they’re long gone.
