PAWCATUCK, Conn. (NBC) - Move over Picasso, a new group of artists are attracting quite a crowd.

Two African Penguins are creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces on small tiles at a pottery studio in Pawcatuck, Connecticut.

The tiles will be part of an upcoming fundraiser. The proceeds will benefit the local aquarium's penguin conservation efforts.

The African Penguin population has decreased by 42 percent over the last eight years.
