About Colin "Big C" Hoffman

Colin Hoffman aka Big C is an American artist, poet, writer, toy designer and creator of the globally famous Baby Fats character.

Growing up in San Francisco C spent his early years studying at a Black Panther School, and losing himself in the early hip-hop scene.

From there C made the jump to toys through his love for the highly detailed 1990s releases by McFarlane Toys.

After a few years of toy collecting C found himself combining his love for both art and hip hop; along with his passion for toys in the burgeoning designer and custom toy scene of the mid to late 2000s.

A scene that encouraged and fostered his creative drive and skills, which he has been using to global acclaim ever since!

"Big C" will be featuring Select Works from his "Trigger Warning" Art Installation at Vet Con! This exhibit provides a first hand look inside the mind of a USMC Veteran, exploring the Veteran suicide epidemic and mental health.
