Brazilian Illustrator Creates Funny Illustrations With His Bull Terrier, And They Are Worth Seeing

Rafael Mantesso is an illustrator who comes from Brazil. He is an editor-in-chief of Brasilian gastronomy marketing site Marketing na Cozinha. While his work and his passion for art may rank high on Mantesso's priority list however, another of his great loves is his adorable Bull Terrier, Jimmy Choo.
When Mantesso divorced with his ex-wife, she left him with nothing but an empty house with white walls. Despite losing everything, he still feels comfortable because he has Jimmy Choo. The artist started drawing and illustrating again, which is when his cute dog becomes the inspiration for his funny drawings. He captures his pup against a backdrop of amusing illustrations.
Here are some fun illustrations where the artist gets Jimmy to pose for them with a simple “Stay” command. Scroll down to check out! We hope these pictures will bring a smile to your face.

“I love to paint and draw, but recently I went back to do that. For now, it is a hobby, draw, illustrate, and paint using objects in my daily life. I already have some requests for screens, photo manipulations, and I am starting to think about making it work. We will see.”
