MIAMI (CBSMiami) -- Famed muralist and photographer Peter Tunney creates art with a very special camera known as the giant Polaroid which was invented in the 1970's and became popular amongst artists and photographers.

Artist Andy Warhol was one of the first to use this giant camera.

Since the 90's, Tunney has taken it to a new level.

Now, the polaroid film inside it is almost extinct and the camera sits in Tunney's Wynwood Walls Studio filled with his incredible pieces.

One of his pieces just made the cover of Ocean Drive Magazine and it's being auctioned off for charity Wednesday and Thursday. It's part of the magazine's Art of the City initiative. Tunney has agreed to donate a work from his collection with proceeds benefiting Artists for Peace and Justice.  It's a nonprofit organization with an immediate goal to serve the poorest communities in Haiti.

The Ocean Drive cover piece is up for auction now through July 21st at 3 p.m. You can see it and bid online by clicking here.
