That's not to say I haven't been hard at work on all creative sides. I guess I haven't really posted any victory or failure stories because I'm just not sure many people would care anyway. And this isn't an out cry to get people to tell me how talented I am, and how I'm gonna go places, it's just something I noticed. <div><br /></div><div>Anyway, I'm not really in the mood to dive deeply into what's been going on the last several months, here's the short and narrow of it; Had a relatively successful art show in NY, moved back to SF, currently working full time for "The Man" video editing, gearing up to direct a short film in June, and still coming up with too many side projects I'll never have time to flesh out. </div><div><br /></div><div>So, there it is. Now that this "Blog" is attached to Face Book, I think I'll be a little more enthusiastic about writing a little something every now and again. I guess it's safe to say if you read this blog at all; you're probably related to me or know me pretty well, so stay tuned for updates and other cool stuff just around the corner! </div>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-10313821195929313042008-07-24T19:06:00.000-07:002008-07-24T19:08:01.608-07:00My first event!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SIk1eE5V8tI/AAAAAAAAAEI/PIAPjN93WYk/s1600-h/invite.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SIk1eE5V8tI/AAAAAAAAAEI/PIAPjN93WYk/s400/invite.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226767633366774482" /></a>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-67420303472956253822008-07-03T20:40:00.000-07:002008-07-03T20:42:10.760-07:00Fair Warning<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SG2b8hP54FI/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZeOdwTTl5WY/s1600-h/My+smile+flyer++010.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SG2b8hP54FI/AAAAAAAAAEA/ZeOdwTTl5WY/s400/My+smile+flyer++010.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218999007211806802" /></a>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-33074180663816056492008-05-12T13:15:00.000-07:002008-05-12T14:00:03.778-07:00My Converse Project.Because of my love for Converse, I'm throwing this little project together.

Not much, just a couple of thumbnails and composition tests, but having the general design in my head before getting there is a strong plus, it affords me time to riff and play around more. You can see the differences and progressions in each step.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZRDFi0pI/AAAAAAAAADQ/SIuQzr61JrY/s1600-h/head_003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZRDFi0pI/AAAAAAAAADQ/SIuQzr61JrY/s400/head_003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199503919220445842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZSDFi0qI/AAAAAAAAADY/SwBUEf3rWCM/s1600-h/head_002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZSDFi0qI/AAAAAAAAADY/SwBUEf3rWCM/s400/head_002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199503936400315042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZSjFi0rI/AAAAAAAAADg/__9S95kd_8U/s1600-h/head_001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChZSjFi0rI/AAAAAAAAADg/__9S95kd_8U/s400/head_001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199503944990249650" border="0" /></a>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-21771250748421547482008-05-12T07:05:00.000-07:002008-05-12T10:20:21.640-07:00Alcohol ÷ East village artist=Being surrounded while working on a "piece" is kind of a new to me. It's definitely a flattering experience, knowing that what ever it is you're doing is interested enough for the attention. It's fun being in the mix of a social event while doing art, the later it got the more entertaining the patrons got. Everything came my way, from drunken offers to buy my work, to symbolic break downs and critiques. The formula: Upper class social event + alcohol ÷ East village artist= future work and great connections, and an overall good time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChVKTFi0nI/AAAAAAAAADA/7dCUDLPMPYI/s1600-h/head++060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 323px; height: 242px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChVKTFi0nI/AAAAAAAAADA/7dCUDLPMPYI/s400/head++060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199499405209817714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChVKjFi0oI/AAAAAAAAADI/U46smCofMAY/s1600-h/head++061.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SChVKjFi0oI/AAAAAAAAADI/U46smCofMAY/s400/head++061.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5199499409504785026" border="0" /></a>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-75880807817311191122008-05-09T07:41:00.000-07:002008-05-09T07:52:28.372-07:00Graffiti without danger.It's been awhile since I've posted, but it's been "work work work", it's a good thing though and I hope it stays that way. I have much more work I'll be posting up here in the next couple of days. Tonight I'll be doing "Live art" at a club with an undisclosed location. This is like doing Graffiti, without the dangers of a cops beating you or moving trains crushing your feet. It kinda takes the excitement out of it, but it should still be fun. Here's the invite. If you're around the lower east side tonight come check it out, I think tickets are like $50 bucks, and I've already used my guest list, so if you can't afford it maybe I'll catch up with you later.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SCRi_4rCFxI/AAAAAAAAACo/XSaygPV4Xz4/s1600-h/TokioClubInvitation.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9QmWh-RpK7Y/SCRi_4rCFxI/AAAAAAAAACo/XSaygPV4Xz4/s400/TokioClubInvitation.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5198388719576553234" border="0" /></a>Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13209109256595655482noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757731231196284340.post-27294346835264637352008-04-16T21:25:00.001-07:002008-04-16T21:26:10.374-07:00oops...
