Have a nice day! Avoid the cliche!

About Me

All of the art on this page is original work created by myself. I am a graphic illustrator/designer. I focus on fantasy art at the moment. If you need design work or illustrations, drop me a line and we'll talk details. Thanks for taking a look!

Oh, and I'm one of those "musicians" as well. If you like my flat art and my video then check out my band, Oubliette. We are a retro-modern-postfuture gothic alternative beat combo! (Now there's a mouth full!) Anyway, its dark, energetic and slightly psychotic...This is my demo reel. It contains the best of my illustrations and animation, all set to a musical score that I composed myself. I hope you enjoy it. John Patrick Garcia's Demo Reel

How could my page be complete without my muse, Karolina? But you know you are much more than that. The last two years wouldn't have been so good without you! I love you Karol...
