As illustrated by Emmanuelle Walker, you can tell a lot about someone from the car he or she drives and even more so by the companion that tags along for that ride.
The London-based 2D and 3D visual artist has a talent for creating charming illustrations out of basic cut-outs and shapes. In her series of dogs and cars, Walker focuses her attention on the shape of the vehicle and the dogs sticking their heads out of the window. The lack of detail in regards to the driver makes for a delightful shift in attention to the companions that often take the spotlight during any social interaction when they are present.
If the drivers were drawn it's a good bet that the majority of viewers would still direct their gaze towards the puppies instead. The simple color scheme, geometric shapes and canine characters make Emmanuelle Walker's art an enjoyable set of illustrations.
