On Cartooning

The old cartoons of the '40s and '50s sustained Patrick's youth. He watched them endlessly, and before long, was creating his own. In the ensuing years, he gained a love for cartooning and animation and has created hundreds of characters.

He attended Montana State University in Bozeman and earned a BA in motion picture and television production. His thesis film was a four-minute animated short, drawn entirely by hand.

Coming to Los Angeles, Patrick has been active in animation, particularly on the Web. In addition to creating the visual designs for The Jadecats and other characters in their world, he also served as the animation supervisor and co-producer for an animated series on Hypnotic.com, and was the grand prize winner of Global Tantrum's Animated Joke Competition from the 2002 World Animation Celebration.

Pat met Paul in an acting class. The two clicked and quickly became friends. Aware of Pat's amazing cartooning skills, Paul asked Pat if he would like to take a shot at drawing a few renditions of The Jadecats. Pat joined Paul on his project during the Spring of 2000. Through a series of drafts, Pat was able to graphically manifest Paul's visions. Since then Pat has produced at least two dozen depictions of characters and environments for the world of the Jadecats, culminating in a short promotional trailer.

Pat was contracted as a freelance illustrator and will not be the animator for the series. He has his hands full with many exciting projects of his own on the forefront.
