My kid coulda done that

No comment necessary. As the Associated Press reports:
A painting by a talented pachyderm at the Fort Worth Zoo has raised $7,000 for tsunami victims.
An original work of art by "Rasha" the Asian elephant was auctioned on e-Bay.
Zoo officials said Wednesday the winning bid came from North Hills Lincoln Mercury in Hurst.

You shouldn't be so hard on that elephant. It's pictures are probably BETTER than some kids pictures.
Ahhahahah! I love that site!
it's good to see elephants using their skills for good and not for evil. the russian artists komar and melamid have been working with elephant painters for a while now, and there's an elephant art charity too.
more about k+m, and their elephant project.

(komar and melamid are the dudes who surveyed people, then created based on the results, the most popular paintings in the world)
