Meet graphic artist Paul Pateman aka Pâté. Known for his visually-arresting images and type compositions, his work is as equally direct and uncomplicated as it is wickedly humorous.
His personal work, regularly exhibited at galleries and sold as posters, includes a series called Cock-A-Doodle, a “dirty alphabet” that’s understandably NSFW.
Once a celebrated, award-winning Creative Director in London’s advertising world, Format’s 2nd episode of InFrame chronicles Pâté’s pursuit of a career he was passionate about — a cause, I’m sure, that would resonate with many of your readers.
After 13 years as a corporate CD, an extended hospital visit led to his epiphany that life can be over in a split second.
I am studying visual comunication, and this post really inspired me. Thanks for posting it, Mónica.
Great! Glad you got some inspiration for the day. Thanks for watching!
Fantastic. Loved this. Thank you.
Even though I haven’t had to be in the hospital for a week, I still feel that urge to keep creating, because what if I can’t use my hands one day? Or go blind? Or get hit by a bus tomorrow? Not the only reason I draw and paint, but it makes you think. :)
Thanks for watching. Glad you got something out of it. I know I did.
