This dog was commissioned and is based on ‘The Red Sea Sharks’
a first edition book printed in Great Britain in 1960.
Tintin comic books hold a very special memory for me as a child- hood love. Time spent reading them as a child took me away on adventures in my imaginary mind. When I became an adult little was I to know the comics would be intertwined with memories of my own adventures.
I would often travel to India for work in the search of colour and inspiration, these journeys would always involve my then boyfriend. To escape the hustle and bustle of the city he discovered a favourite coffee shop and found a collection of Tintin comics. This is where I would find him happily reading, consumed by the stories and taken away by the action, where he found his own place of peace.
If you look closely you will see that Sharky is wearing shark socks.
