Sonic the Hedgehog speeds into gallery in Milton Keynes!

A new collection of limited edition prints celebrating the 25th anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog has launched at Castle Galleries in Milton Keynes, following a collaboration between art publisher Washington Green and SEGA Europe Limited.

Featuring publishing from a selection of today’s leading contemporary artists, the collection pays homage to the iconic video game character who has been racing through games, TV, mobile, merchandise and more for than 25 years.

Its new ‘Sonic 25’ collection sees Washington Green artists re-imagine Sonic the Hedgehog in each of their own inimitable styles. The collection reflects the diverse styles of the artists, Craig Davison, Keith Maiden, Paul Kenton and Robert Oxley, in keeping with the many faces and iterations of Sonic over the years.

Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared as a video game character in June 1991, and instantly became an icon for a generation of gamers.

Defined by his super-fast speed and cool attitude, in the years since he first blazed on to games consoles, Sonic has become a true global phenomenon with more than 350 million video games sold or downloaded worldwide across consoles, PCs, mobile phones and tablets.
