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!
