The name of the artist is the combination of the most famous story characters. Hercule Poirot, Rip Van Winkle and his pet dog Wolf. That's my deduction. Anyways unique name.

An English man who goes by the artistic name Hercule Van Wolfwinkle has raised thousands of pounds for a local charity by doodling people’s pets. All done for free and his spare time, the “rubbish portraits”, as he calls them, took the Internet by storm because of their uniqueness and humor. As a bonus, he comes up with names for the animals, since he’s only ever given their photos.
Bright Side now gives you a sneak peek into this artist’s ever-growing portfolio.
