Wife Leaves Artist With Nothing But A Dog, So He Starts Putting Him In Funny Scenarios (New Pics)
When Brazilian illustrator Rafael Mantesso’s wife left him with nothing but an empty house and a bull terrier named Jimmy Choo, he did not give up. Instead, he found inspiration in the empty walls and his dog and started creating a series of humorous illustrations.
Rafael says his wife took everything when leaving: her cookware, furniture, photos, her decorations. “The only thing she didn’t take was my bull terrier, whom she’d named after her favorite shoe designer: Jimmy Choo,” said the artist. “When Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, I grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, I felt his long-dormant inspiration for drawing, for art, for life—returning.”
Check out Rafael and Jimmy’s illustrations in the gallery below, and be sure to check out the ones we’ve featured before!
