About

Rob Hodgson is an illustrator, author and English gnome.

Bit more About

"Rob Hodgson was born in a seaside town in the south of England in 1988. Today he lives in Bristol where he spends his days making a mess and turning it into quality illustration projects and books.

Rob studied for a degree in illustration at the University of Plymouth, graduating in 2010. He then worked in a design studio for several years, creating and directing projects with a small team of misfits.

In 2017 he released his first children’s picture book, The Cave, and since then has published a small bookshelf more, which have been translated into over a dozen languages.

In 2019 The Cave was selected by Booktrust for their Time To Read campaign, who gave a free copy to every school starter in England.

Approaching his work with a curiosity of techniques, he is equally to be found rummaging around in the trash for unlikely materials, as he is buried in a computer working on new digital processes.

He cites Yoko Ono, Spike Jonze, John Cage, Corita Kent, Vic & Bob, Alexander Girard, Ed Templeton, Arthur Russell, Brian Wilson and the Imagineers among his influences.

Recently he is interested in recycled materials / analogue ephemera / spatial design / paper making / interactive storytelling

Some interests include animals, skateboards and the psychology of perception."
