Sae Hoon Jang, ‘Socko’, (b. 1993, South Korea) is a Korean-American artist who has created the much-adored illustrated character, Dough. Born in Seoul, South Korea, he moved to the USA to complete his studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
Inspired by 90s cartoons, Socko has created an immersive world of his own filled with vibrant colours, raw textures, and most importantly, Dough. With Dough’s dolly eyes and childlike expressions, Socko hopes to bring a sense of whimsical innocence to this world and to create something that everyone can resonate with.
