OMG! This man is so strong and confident. Congrats on the years. I have almost 36! 👍🐢

Beautiful!

Patrick, you are absolutely an artist. I admire your spirit and how you view the world. Your sobriety is serving you well. I wish you love and light and please keep creating!

[@______9322]

God bless you Patrick. YOU ARE AN ARTIST.

[@laurab9867]

Finding creativity in spite of your physical conditions takes inner strength and inspiration. When you are underprivileged you can't see beyond that. I was there too and that makes me appreciate your ART with found metals even more. I like your honesty and your amazing story. Thanks for being an example to younger generations of ARTISTS (ps: you are an Artist by default). Never lose your muse. ❤️💚💙

Best wishes to you for your modest inspiration

Love this art

My youngest brother an electrical engineer was an alcoholic. He was forced to quit drinking 2 years ago. He died this past Aug. 2018. In my opinion it is most difficult to watch a slow train wreck coming than to see someone die quickly. You took the path out of that darkness into your expression of life. As a young person I directed myself to art to deal with the injustices of a world I was taught is honest and just. It has saved my sanity numerous times.
Every variation of life is normal. I am the abnormal thing.

[@lelatenor7854]

I feel an aspiration and connection
With you
Your Art is ...well I'm without words
To express..
And your outlook is beautiful
And for of conscience
Thankyou

[@merryaijlman7833]

Your artwork is very beautiful and powerful. It's such a gift to have music in your heart and it shows in your art. I am also an artist and collect every rusty thing I can find. I thank God you are sober and continue to persue your sobriety as well as your art.

[@jeankarki823]
