When Rafael Mantesso’s wife left him, she took everything except his clothes, the refrigerator, and his beloved bull terrier, Jimmy. Faced with white walls, white floors, and no furniture, he was forced to start over. To stave off boredom, he began doodling on the floors and walls. One day, he decided to lay Jimmy down on the floor next to one of his sketches and take a photo. The result changed the course of his life.
