On his 30th birthday Rafael Mantesso’s wife left him. As if that wasn’t hard enough she took everything with her: the furniture, the cookware, the photos and pictures – there was hardly anything left. The only thing Rafael got to keep was their dog, a bull terrier named Jimmy Choo.
The left husband explained: ‘With only Jimmy for company, I found inspiration in my blank walls and my best friend and I started snapping photos of Jimmy Choo as he trotted and cavorted around the house in glee. When Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to the white wall, I grabbed a marker and drew a new world around my ginger-eared pup. Suddenly, I felt this long-dormant inspiration for drawing — for art, for life — returning.’
So Rafael started to make an entire series of photos with Jimmy in very funny and creative scenes. He and his friend have more than 500.000 follower on Instagram and even published a book with the best photographs of the terrier.
A really fantastic idea! It’s great to see how the former depressing situation turned out for Rafael and what he achieved with his great optimism – and his dog.
