The Istanbul Cow parade at Tepe Nautilus

NPP were invited to join the Cow Parade event in Istanbul by painting 3 cows for the Tepe Nautilus shopping mall in Acibadem on the Asian side of the Bosphorus. It's a project intended to highlight the environment and raise money money for under privileged kids.
See http://www.cowparade.com. 3 painted cows were produced.......

1) Möö Gaz/Moo Gaz - Moo Gas: Gaza Gelen Inek: A cow-fart power cow - highlighting air pollution and sustainable energy.

2) Çocukların İneği/Cocuklarin Inegi - The Children's Cow: a hand-painted cow highlighting land pollution as kids demand us to stop damaging their future.

3) Dalgıç İnek/Dalgic Inek - Diver Cow: an underwater cow highlighting sea pollution.
