A defined project. An undefined result.

The Canvas is the entry point to TDUB's custom work. You bring the shoe and the idea — a color story, a cultural reference, a person or place or moment you want made permanent. TDUB brings 26 years of craft and a hand that has painted everything from portraits of police violence victims to glass mirror tiles to pop culture maximalism. The scope is defined. The beauty is not.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • A brief consultation, in person or by message, to align on the design
  • TDUB's full execution of the agreed design
  • 3-7 day turnaround depending on complexity
  • Before and after photography
  • Certificate of authenticity — signed by TDUB, dated, design described
  • Your shoe returned in protective packaging

THE CANVAS IS RIGHT FOR YOU IF...

  • You have a specific idea — a color story, a motif, a reference — and want TDUB to execute it
  • You want something personal and one-of-one without a full collaborative process
  • You can provide clear visual reference or direction
  • You want a turnaround of 3-7 days
  • You're ready to commission your first piece of wearable art

What makes a good Canvas brief?

The best Canvas commissions come with a clear reference point — a photograph, a color palette, a cultural reference TDUB can work from. You don't need to know exactly what you want. But you need to know what it should feel like.
