London Elephant Parade
Nearly two years ago I reported on the Cow Parade in Denmark (CLICK). In 2010 two hundred fibreglass jumbos will turn up in London for the Elephant Parade. Each model will be painted by an artist. The one above appeared in Antwerp in 2008 (painted by Henri Rousseau?). What a beauty! After three months of lurking around London, the jumbos will be auctioned by Elephant Family (CLICK) to raise money to protect India's elephants. The charity hopes to raise £1m for its cause. If you have room for a jumbo....

I am an artist decorating an elephant for the london parade in Bournemouth. The inspiration is the seaside and it's a community project and called 'KUBELLA'.
Why not have a look at the blog of the current progress: www.poppiesartworkshops.blogspot.com
