Galapagos Giant Tortoise – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Galapagos Tortoise:
The Galapagos Tortoise is the largest living tortoise on earth. It is native to seven islands of the Galapagos archipelago. A fully grown tortoise can weigh almost 700 pounds and measure 4 feet long. These reptiles are very long-lived with a life expectancy in the wild estimated to be over 150 years. 2 of the 12 subspecies of the giants are now extinct. Until recently it was thought that some other species may pass into extinction, but thanks to conservation efforts and captive breeding programs many of these tortoises are slowly creeping back to stable populations.

Artist’s notes:
A Galapagos Tortoise was one of my earliest animal subjects (done in Germany in 1999) but seeing as I’ve improved since then I decided to redraw this impressive reptile. As with all tortoises the ink drawing was pretty straightforward, but the color version was more difficult but I think it turned out fine – certainly much stronger than the original. The drawing is based on a photo by Eddie Anderson.

Olive Ridley Sea Turtle – Signed Fine Art Print
Information about the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle:
The Olive Ridley Sea Turtle - also called the Pacific Ridley Sea Turtle - is considered the most abundant sea turtle on the planet. These reptiles get their name from the coloring of their heart-shaped shell, which starts out gray but becomes olive green later in life. There may be more than one million in the world's oceans today. Compared to other sea turtle species adults are relatively small, weighing on average around 100 pounds (45 kg). Olive Ridleys can be seen at nesting sites on beaches all around the planet, generally in tropical and subtropical areas. When the females are getting ready to nest, its believed they use the wind and the tide to help them find the beach. Females will lay about a hundred eggs, and may nest 1-3 times a year. Olive Ridleys are mostly carnivorous, feeding on such creatures as jellyfish as well as small crustaceans such as crabs and shrimp. It is the only living species not considered to be endangered - although it is classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources as vulnerable.The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
