THE STORY: The canvases were to be used for team building events that took place at multiple companies as their contribution to 67 minutes for Mandela Day. Employees would each receive a canvas with a desaturated version of the illustration printed on it and a separate full colour copy of the original to use as reference. Employees were encouraged to bring family, help each other and have fun in this social team building event.

Once all the canvases were painted, they were donated to Flying Children which is a local charity that focuses on improving care for preschool children in under-served areas.

These photos were taken at the team building event and found on the Rapidstudio blog.
