Derrick Hodgson is a Toronto-based artist whose paintings and drawings depict complex social spaces crowded with both familiar and mutated characters. Hodgson grew up on a farm and subsequently moved to Toronto. This progression from natural to urban provided fertile grounds for the first seeds of his obsessions. Using aspects of cartoon, graffiti, and contemporary design, Hodgson created a style that quickly advanced him to the forefront of contemporary art and character design. His character illustrations were transformed into 3D art figures and sold in "gatcha-gatcha" vending machines across Japan. This achievement led Hodgson to be a key speaker at the Berlin Pictoplasma conference in 2004 and 2006. Learn more about Zune Originals and get started.
