Mythical Canvas

Boosting confidence through art #nomistakesinart

Hello I’m David, founder of Mythical Canvas and I'm based in Lewisham, London.

Growing up, being exposed to art helped me massively and my mum gave me loads of opportunities to be creative. In school, I was a keen artist but was a perfectionist and my inspirational art teacher would always say that there are 'no mistakes in art', pushing me to take more risks with my artwork.

This quote stuck with me and has helped me manoeuvre through life, encouraging me to take more risks and pursue my dreams. Fear of making mistakes can hold us back from going for and achieving our dreams, so at Mythical Canvas, we aim to promote the belief that there are no mistakes, only learning opportunities.

I launched Mythical Canvas because I wish to inspire kids to follow their dreams and have the self-confidence to believe they can create their reality. With our canvas shoes, we want to give kids the chance to create something they can be proud of, promoting the freedom to be creative in a fun way. 10% of every purchase goes towards us providing art packs for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
