DEDOS

VISUAL ARTIST  2D ANIMATOR   MURALIST  DANCER

His roots are in graffiti art-- considered a pioneer within Canada--gradually becoming a commissioned muralist with over 100 murals to date.

Formally trained animator with over 20 years as lead creative in the animation/gaming industry.

As a dancer, he was one of the founding members of the '90s hip-hop group the "Rascalz"—their protest at the JUNO awards resulted in the recognition of Hip Hop as its own genre /category.

As the son of Uruguayan immigrant parents, hip-hop was paramount in defining his identity and sense of belonging.
