When Patrick was growing up, his teachers constantly scolded him for drawing monsters, robots and aliens during class.  Some years later, he illustrated his very first book, Halloween Holiday Grab Bag, and got to put those hours of practice to good use.  Since then, he has illustrated over 100 books for children.  They include, Yikes - Lice!, winner of the Science Books and Films Best Books, and I Have a Weird Brother Who Digested a Fly, a Society of School Librarians International Honor book.

His clients include Sesame Street Magazine, National Geographic World, Kid City, Spider, Weekly Reader, USA Toay, Click, Scholastic, Oxford University Press, Purdue University and many others.

In addtion to his books, his work can be found on museum exhbitis, greeting cards, t-shirts, games, toys, puzzles, scraps of paper, the margins of newspapers, and his Mom's refrigerator door.  He loves coffee and robots and hates writing about himself.
