I just received the guitar from our friend and event coordinator Mychelle Volrath. Mychelle took the guitar to Thailand to have the painting done and it turned out fantastic. She actually had two different elephants paint the guitar. I have copied Mychelle's email, below, with the names of the elephants that did the painting and a litlle info about the process they used to get the guitar painted. The elephants were not familiar with painting on a surface like our guitar so it took some practice to get the artwork completed. But completed it is. We will now lock the artwork onto the guitar by shooting clear coats of lacquer over the painting done by the artists.Please read Mychelle's account of the day the guitar was painted.
Hello to everyone...I would like to let you all know about a really great project we are doing right now. It will benefit the endangered Asian Elephants. It centers on the work that the Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project (AEACP) is doing. The Asian Elephant Art & Conservation Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to aiding people in need and to saving the diminishing number of Asian elephants left on our planet through its work with domesticated elephants. The AEACP raises funds through the sale of artwork created by elephants in order to generate money and create awareness for the people.
