Besides his theatrical work and poetry, Hermans was also a painter. He did this purely for recreation and never wanted to be in the spotlight. Therefore, he almost never exhibited his paintings. In November 2004, a public auction of some of his paintings brought in an unexpected sum of over €600,000. Most of this amount went to the Toon Hermans Huis foundation, an organization founded by Hermans to care for cancer patients and their families.
In 2003, a calligraphy group from the IJmond region set a record by creating the world's largest calligraphic work and compiling it into a book. The book consists of over 7,400 A4 pages containing calligraphed texts by Toon Hermans. The Toon Hermans BV Foundation granted permission to use the texts. The pages were glued together to create a concertina book over 2 meters high. It weighs 55 kilos and stretches over 2 kilometers. It uses 5 kilometers of tape and 3 liters of ink. Maurice Hermans, Hermans' son, was also involved in the project.
A few years after Hermans' death, a self-portrait of him was discovered during renovations in a house on Paardenstraat in Sittard. He had likely painted it for a friend who lived there at the time.
