Well no, he's not the next Picasso. But Blue Blue, an African penguin living at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, is still quite the little artiste, if we may say so ourselves. It may be fair to say, however, that he's the Picasso of penguins.
Here's how the artist works: Non-toxic paint is applied to the feet of the one-year-old webbed wonder, who then waddles around, creating art to be sold on the aquarium's website. The 16-inch-by-20-inch paintings are double-matted in white with black inner trim and encased in a black wood frame. Available in two three-color combinations -- dark red, blue and green and purple, blue and green -- the works (being sold at under $125) will give a portion of the earnings to the penguin conservation efforts both in Mystic and across the world.
