Rafael Mantesso, a Brazilian food editor, creates playful illustrations around the everyday activities of his lovely bull terrier Jimmy Choo, who has been the driving force behind their climb to Instagram stardom. Instagram is clearly a great place for pets to start their Internet star careers.

Jimmy Choo became an active participant in Mantesso’s creative drawings after Mantesso and his ex-wife went their separate ways. To fill the emptiness and keep himself busy, he started drawing and painting again. The bull terrier was always there beside his human friend, which meant it was only a matter of time till the dog also got involved.

The artist also revealed his secret to staying creative – you have to exercise your creativity and practice every day, even if you don’t want to.
