Auction For Elephants

I am currently working on a portfolio of Asian wildlife for an exhibition with Elephant Family later this year.

We hope to have a venue and date confirmed within the next couple of weeks, so watch this space. If you would like to be added to my mailing list, please email me at martin.aveling@gmail.com

In the meantime, here is one of the works in progress...

P-p-pick up a Penguin for Comic Relief

This year I've decided to raise funds for Red Nose Day, but instead of doing something invariably unfunny for money, I am giving away some artwork instead:

Simply click on the link above and donate £5 (or more), and you will be entered into the draw to win one of my limited edition prints of a King Penguin (edition of 100).

Malaria, an entirely preventable illness, is the biggest killer in Africa. In 2010, an estimated 655,000 people worldwide died from malaria, and over 90% of these cases were in Africa. Approximately 86% of deaths globally were children.

I grew up in Kenya, but was in a privileged enough position to have access to a mosquito net and the relevant preventative drugs when in an at risk area. A simple luxury that is not available to a staggering number of people living in abject poverty in Kenya and across the rest of Africa. It only costs £5 for a mosquito net, which could very well be the difference between life and death for someone. Thank you for your donation.

Have Yourselves A Merry Little Christmas!

Helmeted Guineafowl

I recently spent an incredible 5 days at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya, where I saw plenty of these beautiful, but odd looking birds.

The Ol Pejata Conservancy is a not-for-profit organisation situated in Kenya's Laikipia county. It boasts the largest population of Black Rhinos in East Africa, and also plays home to 4 of the 7 remaining Northen White Rhinos on the planet. I thoroughly recommend a visit:
