Please check out my latest venture: http://progresswear.com. Political wear that doesn't suck, much of it addressing the Christian Right and the Intelligent Design movement.If one is defined by occupation, I've been a painter and creative director my entire career. At times I've dropped out of one to only pursue the other. My fine art can be seen at www.patrickking.org and my design firm's website is www.kinggroupmedia.comI play hooky from both of them by writing unpublished essays or playing guitar. Always looking for musical co-conspirators with a love of Beatlesque pop, but I've played with folks from Big Bands to Latin groups to speed metal.In the end I inhabit an entirely left brained world. Yet I refuse to view the world only from an artist's morose, detached perspective. Living richly and laughing every minute.What else? Hmmm. Fluent in French. Passionate leftist. Sort of play the piano. Can sing standards but lost my rock and roll voice by 18. Sports atheist though I'd love to ski again. Recently featured in the survivor series of the Lance Armstrong Cancer Foundation.Kind to children and animals. Lapsed Catholic. Have the world's best meatloaf recipe.
