Well, it can only be Wallace and Gromit's Feathers McGraw of course! A bronze statue of the enigmatic McGraw was unveiled in Preston on Thursday. The statue was unveiled by his creator, Oscar-winning animator Nick Park.

Over the years, Feathers has popped up in other Aardman productions. In the 1995 Wallace and Gromit adventure “A Close Shave,” which also won the Academy Award, when Gromit gets sent to prison, there’s graffiti in his cell that reads “Feathers was ‘ere.” And the character can be seen, for a single frame, in a scene later on in the short.

Wallace and Gromit creator Nick Park has described the trend of fans getting Feathers McGraw tattoos as an "accolade". The Oscar-winning filmmaker's comments came at a ceremony unveiling a new 4ft (1.2m) sculpture of the villainous penguin in his home city of Preston, Lancashire.

If you have somehow avoided pop culture all together over the past two months, you may have missed that Feathers McGraw, aka the villainous penguin from the Wallace and Gromit universe has had a hell of a comeback.

The evil penguin has his beady eyes on the much-loved duo's own statue nearby. Nick Park was the guest of honour at the official opening of Preston's new Animate cinema and leisure complex.
