A Pair of Penguins by Heather Ward
I had the chance recently to visit the New England Aquarium with my daughter. They have a wonderful penguin exhibit there, with three different species. These are African penguins, the only species of penguin that breeds in Africa. Here, I have removed them from the indoor exhibit of fake rocks in a large pool to the more natural setting of a rocky South African shoreline. These birds are monogamous and listed as a vulnerable species. This drawing was done with charcoal and graphite on Strathmore smooth bristol paper. The original 9”x12” unframed drawing is available. 712 views as of 11/07/09

Magellanic Penguin (Spheniscus magellanicus) by Mariann Rea
Featured in Zoophoria in September 2009 and in Penguins Galore in October 2009! Thank you!! Second place in the Penguins Galore challenge and also in Playful photogenic animals group challenge! There is a funny story with this penguin :) / This was in Belfast zoo. We were visiting with my husband and he had a map of the zoo in his hand. For some reason he touched the glass with the map and the penguin reacted immediately by trying to byte the paper through the glass. His beak hit the glass in effortless tries. It was sooo funny! :) Where ever my husband put the map the penguin followed. This went on for a while and there was a crowd starting to gather behind us. At one point another person decided to have a go at this fun game and took his car keys, put close to the glass and showed them to the penguin. I am telling you – the expression on that penguin’s face was priceless when he saw the keys!!! His eyes went big and he swam quickly away. It was almost like he was thinking: what the hell is this! Hahaha / Times like these I would really want to know what and how animals think :D Canon 20D / Canon EF 100-400mm L @ 100mm / ISO 100, 1/80sec, f/6,3

"Our World" ~ Gentoo Penguins by Robert Elliott
100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Photo of Gentoo Penguins taken during a light snow storm on Curville Island Antarctic Peninsula. The Gentoo Penguin is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species Melting sea ice and overfishing have triggered a dangerously rapid decline in penguin populations on the Antarctic peninsula – a direct result of global warming, warns a new report from the WWF. Temperatures on the frozen continent are rising five times faster than the global average due to the unprecedented rate of climate change, pushing four species perilously close to extinction. Warmer temperatures are forcing penguins to raise their young on increasingly thinner and more precarious ice floes, while stronger winds mean many eggs and chicks are being blown away from their parents before they are able to survive on their own. The gentoo, chinstrap and adélie – along with the emperor, the largest penguin species in the world – are now struggling to survive as melting sea ice destroys nesting sites and reduces vital food sources, such as krill.

Snow storm, freezing wind ~ Life in the Antarctic goes on!! by Robert Elliott
100% of proceeds received from Redbubble in respect to sales of this item, will be donated to Bush Heritage Australia Best viewed large Photo of 2 Gentoo Penguins and a Chinstrap Penguin on an iceberg in a snow storm with a freezing wind blowing. The slick on the water (top left hand side) is the sea beginning to freeze. / Photo taken in the Lemaire Channel Antarctic Peninsular For how much longer will scenes like this exist. Don’t let this photo fool you, the temperature in the Antarctic is rising 5 times faster than the global average. The time for eloquent oratory and pontification is over, the time for action is long overdue.

Rocking with the rockhopper by JohnMeszaros
I swear I’ve seen fish guitars like that somewhere.

I thought this might amuse you all. After all the lovely comments you have been making recently regarding my work, I just thought I should illustrate that I too, make mistakes! It concerns a specific work of mine but applies to all of them and describes a situation most professionals, be they painters or photographers will probably have encountered themselves. / You might remember / this design / You might also remember me telling you it took a fair while to paint that background? / Well, guess what? I just found out from the zoologist in Switzerland who vets all the WWF artwork, that it is the WRONG location! It shows volcanic Polynesia, not the coral islands of the Maldives! Okay, they sent me the ref pic that showed this scene, but didn’t say ‘Don’t use this background’ and so, I did, simply because it looked so dramatic. It did cross my mind, however. that it was possibly not correct, but did it anyway for the heck of it! What I SHOULD have done was Google ‘Maldives/Images’ and looked for this specific location and I soon would have realised that The Maldives looked nothing like that photo…but I didn’t! Anyway, at least he loved the whales, if not the volcanoes!!! / Cautionary tale or what? / Anyway, I will now strip out thosevolcanoes and paint a coral atoll instead! Now, before RB came into my life (and changed it in SO MANY amazing ways) I might have been a bit miffed at my own stupidity, but now I realise that although technically incorrect, in respect of The Maldives, the art is still valid and therefore I can leave it for sale on RB simply as a pleasing image. In any event, I’m sure Melon-Headed Whales are seen all over the Southern Hemisphere and so it’s quite possible they are seen off Polynesia as they appear in my artwork, So I suppose it could almost be a ‘collector’s item’ and may make it more saleable! I will correct the art over the weekend and post it here when finished for you to see just how wrong I got it!

I even have a few Christmas cards to get you in the mood. So, please leap on over to My Bubblesite or My Profile / and pick up a bargain today. You won’t be disappointed and then you’ll feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that you have done all of of Christmas shopping, already.

For other countries, please work it out accordingly. I’ve had a blast these past 18 months, here on redbubble, and I wanted to give something back to you. Thank you for all of your support, comments, encouragement and for giving me the confidence to learn and grow with my art, in this short time. Here’s to many, many more months on the bubble. Cheers very much indeed. Elana /
