Ted Benvenuti’s Scrappy Dogs

Galgos (Spanish Greyhounds)

Actually, nothing about these sleek handcrafted works of dog art is scrappy except for the fact that São Paulo artist Ted Benvenuti uses certifiably reforested Brazilian bentwood and carpentry shop leftovers to create them.

Beyond their beauty, I love their individuality.  Like every dog I’ve ever met, their personalities are utterly distinct, even when comparing works within the same breed, like the Basset Hounds below.  Simply gorgeous!
