Artist seeks Guinness record for enormous caricature
Foster received word that his giant drawing earned him an $18,600 prize from the station.
(Web Desk) – Dean Foster, an Alberta artist, used an ATV and spray paint to draw a 427x328 foot big caricature to seek recognition from Guinness World Record.
Dean Foster, a South Africa native who now lives in the Innisfail, Alberta, area, filmed himself with a drone when he used the ATV and spray paint to create the giant caricature of two radio DJs, Cjay 92 DJs Jesse and JD.
Foster received word that his giant drawing earned him an $18,600 prize from the station.
"I couldn’t have asked for more. I am so relieved," Foster told the Red Deer Advocate.
