The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project has been very busy with a recent flurry of press and publicity due to a video going around the internet of an elephant drawing the outline of another elephant, a “self-portrait” if you will. Here's Hong (biography here), female Asian Elephant aged eight years, doing a better job with her trunk than most of we homo sapiens who try our hand at painting...

CNN picked up the story and you can see Anderson Cooper and colleague debate on whether the footage is authentic or has been faked by some wily digital wizards -- ah show biz. Having visited the Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project website (elephant artist bio and image gallery of paintings here), they mistakenly identify the elephant artist Hong as Paya, who is another well-renown painter. You can see Paya in action here in this podcast we put together:

Last but not least, being human has its limitations. So to give us a leg up toward achieving packidermesque memory comes the software package Evernote sporting a nifty elephant logo.

Really cool. I wonder if the elephant chooses the colors him/her self? It appears the assistant gives the elephant the brush with color. It is nice to know we have elephants that are smarter than our White House Bozos.
Any art an elephant could manage would likely be more impressive than anyone item in the Tate Modern. And worth more.
Why would anyone want to make an elephant paint? These are wild animals and belong in the wild. They are not here for our exploitation. Very sad. Thanks for posting about this subject.
