About the artist:
A living giant, Pat Barrett was raised by wild actors in the swamps of Connecticut. In his teen years he decided to try his luck at blending into non magical society by moving to the badlands of Brooklyn and studying at the Pratt Institute and the Center for Cartoon Studies in New York. Over the past decade he has used imagery to capture parts of the human spirit and weave small enchantments including self published comics including Red House, How to Make Comics the Whiner’s Way and the solo anthology series Oak & Linden. Some have been published in anthologies including Caboose, Psychotherapy and Irene. His other, more rent paying work, includes comic strips on the backs of Garbage Pail Kids (which still exist) and illustrations for clients including the New York Times, Slate, and most recently Funny or Die. His love of comics blossomed into a fondness for the related arts of hand lettering, illustration and animation. He even served as a comics ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain. Settling in an undisclosed Brooklyn location Pat has decided to continue his magical line with his partner Caitlyn Princess of the Amazons (also a master at the art of the living lines). Today they are overseeing the education and sustenance of Maeve who at just a few months old is already a level 3 Mage dabbling in Alchemy. |
