Born in 1988, Rob Hodgson is a British designer, illustrator and author. His début author/illustrated title, The Cave, was picked by BookTrust to be distributed free to every reception-aged schoolchild in England.
My inspirations mostly come from ways of making and thinking about making, rather than stylistic influences.
And I like a lot of folks who deconstruct and reconstruct form and colour. Like a lot of the early 20th Century European painters (Klee, Mattise, Miro, Picasso etc).
The Bauhaus, Black Mountain college, mid century American designer/illustrators (Girard, Rand etc). And also big visual thinkers like Bruno Munari, Hockney, John Cage.
