Enesco launches new Jimmy the Bull collection
After Rafael Mantesso’s wife left him on his 30th birthday, with nothing but an empty apartment and the family pet, a ginger-eared bull terrier named Jimmy Choo, he re-discovered his artistic flair and love for drawing. After cavorting around the apartment, Jimmy collapsed in happy exhaustion next to one of the plain white walls and on a whim, Mantesso grabbed a marker and drew a new world around his best friend – and so, Jimmy the Bull was born.
Having grown in popularity after attracting the world’s attention with many of Mantesso’s images shared by the media, now your customers can bring a piece of Jimmy the Bull home with them, thanks to a new range of licensed giftware and home décor goods from Enesco.
The new Jimmy the Bull range includes mugs and coasters, card holders, tote bag, umbrella, notepads and pens, desk pads, pencil case, money bank, figurines, wall art and wall clocks.
Set to be hero pieces of the new collection, the wall clocks are sure to be a stylish addition to your customers’ homes. Pride Rock Wall Clock features a 3D photographic image of Jimmy observing a wild dog howling at the moon, presented in Mantesso’s signature black and white hand-drawn style. The Balloons Wall Clock shows a 3D photographic image of Jimmy being lifted into the frame by several cartoon-like balloons. Both wall clocks are made with white resin, measure 23cm x 23cm and retail with an SRP of £25.00.
Pride Rock Wall Clock and Balloons Wall Clock along with other items in the Jimmy the Bull collection are available to order from www.enesco.co.uk.
