about hercule van wolfwinkle

Hercule Van Wolfwinkle is an artist with a self-proclaimed ‘ultra-realistic style’ that has gained him worldwide fame and an ever-increasing gaggle of disgruntled customers trying to get their hands on him!

His main passion is his ‘Pet Portraits By Hercule’ project, which has seen Hercule raise over £400,000 and counting for charity by drawing portraits of people’s pets in return for discretionary charity donations. Hercule is a proud campaigner and Fundraising Advocate for his chosen charities and, as well as drawing pet portraits, he is often taking part in hare-brained challenges to raise extra funds and awareness for their causes.

Alongside the pet portrait project and charity work, Hercule also creates lots of other artwork which is not usually shared on his social media pages. If you would like to see this artwork, please subscribe to the mailing list or check out the available pieces and back catalogue in the prints section of the website*.

*The merchandise and artwork sales from this site are not direct charity sales, however a minimum of 10% of all profits are donated to the chosen charities.

Despite having a face for radio, Hercule has made multiple Television appearances, and seen his work featured in the global press and exhibited publicly in the UK. He is a Sunday Times Bestselling author, has illustrated books for other authors, and collaborated with brands on projects and events.

When he’s not doodling, Hercule likes selling pipe dreams to plumbers on the internet, injecting some excitement into Jury Service with a well-timed Mexican wave, and attempting to beat the Guinness World Record for the most amount of disappointment served in one trifle.

Hercule does not take commission requests for his pet portraits, but if you should wish to work with him on another project, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
