In October 2013, Scarfe donated his time to decorate one of the large Wallace & Gromit statutes to be auctioned for the Bristol hospital charity that was featured live on the BBC. His contribution finally ended up being sold to an internet bidder from Miami Florida where the statue was exported into a private collection, ultimately topping all estimates on value with a bid second highest only to the Pixar statue contribution.
On November 22, 2005, the United Kingdom’s Press Gazette named its 40 most influential journalists, and included Scarfe alongside two other cartoonists, Carl Giles and Matt Pritchett.
