Book illustrations & more!

I recently was asked to work on several Illustrations for a new creative book entitled, "Do it For The Story". The book is being published at the end of the month. I will post more as I find out when & exactly where you can get it. So far it has been a pretty fun project. The author has given me open creativity & free range as to what to create as I read the chapters. Below are the illustrations I did for Chapter 1 of the book...

Also just released. Select painting's by Patrick Maxcy designed on 3 limited edition mouse pads! These will not be on sale forever. So get yours today. Just double click on the one you like best. They came out pretty sweet in my opinion.

BlacknBleu Fest update

Yesterday...

I painted for 6.5 straight hours in the sun during the BlacknBleu Art & Music fest. I got pretty sun burnt but the event was fun. Lots of people came out and several bid on my mural I was painting. I had no clue what to paint but I knew the money was going to charity.

I decided to just create something different and fun. A few kids came up to me and asked "What are you painting?" I told them that using your imagination is a good thing and imagining funny unique creatures that one day might exist is fun. They seemed to like that. Here's what I came up with.

the mural sold to a 3d animator who bought it for his studio. My good friend's Mike, Kelly, & Keith also stopped by for the event.
Thanks to everyone for coming out and a huge thanks to BlacknBleu for putting on the whole production!

Quick little update...

Quick little update...

I'll be showing a piece at Bear&Bird Gallery this Saturday. It's a FL themed showed for all the wonderful Florida kids out there! So much work will be on display, be sure to stop by.

Also, I'm not a professional by any means but I do enjoy creating little videos from time to time. I was recently asked to help make a music video for my friends band "Leading The Heroes". Shot some footage and edited it all all. Here is the premiere. enjoy:

I've been riding my bike a lot lately as well. Usually 6 to 8 miles. I always have my camera with me to take random shots. Here's my favorite from yesterday's adventure. Get outside! See more random images I take on my Flickr.
