Great Philippine Eagle
Jeepney Projects Worldwide is a partnering of benefit art projects and regional conservation groups working to inspire, support, and restore lost habitat of critically endangered birds.
San Francisco artist and birding enthusiast, David Tomb, is at the forefront of this endeavor that raises awareness for endangered birds and other creatures around the world through the creation and sale of limited-edition artwork that celebrates these important wild things. Each project focuses on, and advocates for, a particular species and its fragile eco-system.
Palawan Peacock-Pheasant
Jeepney Projects strives to inspire both the local population as well as people globally to learn more about these unique animals and to reverse course on their impending demise. Their current project tells the story of the critically endangered and iconic Great Philippine Eagle and its world.
Horned Guan
In January of this year, Tomb and the Jeepney team visited Mt. Kitanglad on Mindanao island in the Philippines to see wild nesting Great Philippine Eagles and other endemic birds. Jeepney Projects has since partnered with the Philippine Eagle Foundation to create limited fine art benefit prints to raise money for research and public outreach/education about the Eagle.
Resplendent Quetzal
David Tomb has exhibited in galleries, universities, and museums extensively across the United States and has been published widely including the New York Times, The New Yorker, and Harper’s. Tomb’s work is in many public collections including the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Oakland Museum of California, and the Consulate General of the United States Embassies in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez.
This mini-exhibit features the four pieces shown here. Sales of the Great Philippine Eagle and Palawan Peacock-Pheasant prints benefit the Philippine Eagle Foundation. Proceeds from purchases of the Horned Guan and Respenedent Quetzal prints go directly to the El Triunfo Conservation Fund in Mexico.
