Colin Hopkins, born in Saint Annes Hospital in Mount Lawley, Western Australia. Grew up and raised by loving Parents John and Marianne Hopkins and younger brother to Shane Hopkins. Forever through my younger I loved to draw and be creative with whatever I would do, My Nan Joyce Hopkins would take me to art galleries and luncheons with artists where I would perform and study all aspects of the arts during my high school years. I was accepted into a selected program called "The special Art School" at Kalamunda High School My parents separated when I was in my mid-teens, so my art career was put on hold. I then went on to do a trade as a Boilermaker/Welder and built boats and luxury ships. I started working on "The adventures of Fang, the wonder dog" in my early 20s with the assistance of my friends 4-year-old daughter name Kori. Kori would suggest what I should draw in the background of each picture and every day after she finished school we would work on it together.
