Elephant Artist

This is to clear the air about whether or not that elephant on Marty's blog (April 8th, 2008) can paint. Turns out there is a website for elephant artist with biographies and everything. Here is some info about Jojo.

"Jojo is considered to be one of the top three elephant artists. Jojo’s works are very distinctive and they have sold at international auctions for thousands of dollars. Perhaps cognisant of his artistic status in the world, Jojo will decide for himself when his inspiration has died and in the middle of a painting will just turn around and walk off, no matter how much his mahout protests."

That paragraph makes about as much sense as anything I have ever read about any artist, human or not. I'm also pretty sure every "artist" that I know is jealous. Here's a picture to make it even worse.



I think I might buy a painting. 300 dollars is not so bad. Little known fact. The elephants also made the website.
