Every artist has a muse. Julia Charvin happens to be her most faithful companion : her dog.
The French illustrator shares her studio her sketches, watercolors, and morning coffee with her own dog, always by her side as she works. It’s easy to imagine that this everyday bond is where her world of illustrated dogs first began.
From that shared closeness comes a whole cast of endearing characters : dalmatians in bellhop hats carrying miniature suitcases, and dogs of other breeds just as beautifully dressed a black labrador trotting off with a stolen pastry, a bull terrier caught mid-pirouette in a ballerina’s tutu. Each one dressed with care, each one ready for the next adventure.
Slipped into real photographs of everyday life, these hand-drawn dogs turn every scene into a small theater full of charm and wit.
