Illustrator Rafael Mantesso has continued to create whimsical Instagram snapshots that feature his adorable bull terrier Jimmy Choo. The visual artist first began his playful collaboration with his dog after his divorce left him with his dog and a house full of crisp, white walls for him to fill with interactive doodles. Jimmy Choo naturally became the loyal star of these lighthearted designs and the positive response encouraged Mantesso to continually create new images.
Each picture is created with Jimmy Choo in mind, allowing the pup to actually interact with the completed drawings, with little effort on his part. The real trick is for Mantesso to get his furry friend to stand still so that he could photograph the precious pooch doing anything from giving Tinkerbell a peck on the lips or taking a sudsy shower to flying through the air with butterfly wings. As a whole, the decorated shots showcase both the artist’s talent and Jimmy Choo’s photogenic nature.
