Bucketfeet and Spoonflower collaboration for canvas shoes

I am so very proud and honored to be part of the +Spoonflower +BucketFeet Collaboration


Back in May 2016 Bucektfeet and Spoonflower collaborated to present Designers with a challenge, Themed - Oceans.  
The brief was to spark a discourse on the beauty, complexity, drama and fragility of our seas and Oceans, for WORLD OCEAN DAY

This is my design, Life at Sea
Now available for pre-order for two weeks only as a limited edition Slip On 


My interest and intrigue in evolutionary biology and Speciation is the inspiration for this design, highlighting the weird and awesomely wonderful life form that thrive and evolve in our oceans.

So +BucketFeet say "show your weird and wonderful side with these beautiful canvas shoes"
