Artist Pat Perry Captures Chaos and Character

— June 25, 2011 — Art & Design
Pat Perry is an illustrator and graphic designer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, whose keen eye for creating dramatically detailed and colorful characters have made him standout as an artist to watch.

His ability to fuse elements of surrealism, graphic design, and comedy in his illustrations give his portfolio the kind of edge that is the envy of artists around the world.

Pat Perry's work has not gone unnoticed by the corporate world. He has done work for Urban Outfitters, Fearless Records and Threadless and have been featured in Photoshop Creative Magazine. Pat Perry just finished a lengthy road trip that took him across the United States, including Nebraska, Wyoming, California and Nevada. His work was most recently featured at the C.A.V.E.
