Artist Takes Portraits of His Bull Terrier and Illustrates the Background

by twistedsifter

 

Brazilian artist Rafael Mantesso takes portraits of his adorable bull terrier Jimmy Choo, placing him in funny situations by illustrating the background. Mantesso then posts the funny results on Instagram to his nearly 50,000 followers.

In an interview with Bored Panda, Rafael says the project started after he and his wife got divorced and he found himself with an empty house, white walls and Jimmy Choo. Rafael first draws the background and then attempts to get Jimmy to pose in the specified spot.
