‘Rubbish’ animal artist hails success of marathon
Hercule Van Wolfwinkle's portrait marathon raised money for charities including StreetVet.
The fundraising event raised over £10,000 for charity.
Hercule Van Wolfwinkle’s animal portrait marathon raised a total of £10,500 for Streetvet and Turning Tides.
The ‘rubbish’ portrait artist walked 26 miles on Sunday, 14 May, from Worthing to Brighton and back again. On the way, he stopped to badly draw people’s pets to raise money for the two charities.
The famous yellow Y fronts worn by Hercule during the last section of the marathon, and are usually put on the animals he illustrates, will now be auctioned to increase the funds raised.
