Shantell Martin and her dog Blanche, a rescued Havanese/Poodle mix, were featured in The Wildest, where Martin discussed Blanche’s role as a guard dog and muse. 

“I don’t know. I feel like she makes me happy, so I feel like she’s inspired my happiness on some levels, which perhaps inspired my work. I’m sure you have this, where you just look over and you just watch them. I think in a way that inspires feeling calm or peaceful or happy just by watching them be or even sleep sometimes. They’re not even doing anything, but I think that that in itself is kind of inspiring.”

Enjoy some pictures from their photoshoot at Martin’s Subliminal Project’s show, THE FUTURE, where they were both on their best behavior.
