About Me

I'm 28 years old. Hawaiian born, live in the city of Redlands. I'm a fine artist, freelance illustrator and art instructor (which I've grown to love). I love to put two of my greatest passions, fantasy and art, together to tell stories. I love to tell stories through my paintings. There's nothing better than creating worlds and have someone who is viewing the piece of art say, "I believe in that world". If I can get someone to say that about one of my paintings I know I'm doing my job. Hopefully one day plan to freelance doing books. I will keep painting and drawing until I die. Funny and outgoing, like to snowboard and play sports whenever I can. I surf in the summer but haven't been able to do that for a while. I have my website up, so if you're interested in checking out my artwork go to: www.iankirkpatrickart.com

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Fun and interesting people that can hold up a good conversation. People that know how to have a good time and not flake on others. I don't like the flakey type.

School art show

As my school spring art has come and gone, I was very dissapointed to see that none of my work got in. There could have been many reasons why, one I would like to believe to be is that the format of ...
