John Patsfield Pins and Buttons

Trying to look at the patterns and subtleties of Mondrian, and find a way to apply it to the work that I do.... (Trying, that's the key word, there...)

The words of the master, with an image that I hope would have made him smile to know how he has inspired so many....

Started with an ocean scene, and it turned into a planet vibe.... Sort of the way that works out, I guess....

The trees took everything that winter threw at them - Winter took everything that the trees had to offer....

Hail to the elder gods, deep of the slumberlands, known to inhabit the psychotics, the children, and the terminally mad.... Blessed are they that inhabit the pit, for it leads to nothing - from which we all came, to which we all march with resolute assurance. Hails to the elder gods, deep of the slumberlands. They are us, we are us, them are them, forever and never. Amen.

It seems like everyone is too easy to be offended - it's on every side - it's on every angle - it's over and over. Don't get offended - Just don't buy it.... It's that simple. Move along.

Yeah, it's a little janky, but look at all of that cool retro style, daddy-o.

Always bet on yourself.

This little Ray was a request from my little sister - And I was THRILLED to do it, I hope that you will love it as much as she did.

This started out as me trying to do some sort of a challenge to myself - to create one "Screaming" inspired image for each day in October (2019) - and it turned into something special. This piece seems to "speak" to so many people - it brings out reactions in them - good and bad. In some way I have to confess that it makes me sad that so many people see this and identify with it...

Sir Kled, for my boy!

He disagrees with your assessment, and he looks down on you now. He will look at you over his glasses, sip his chai tea, and say nothing...... For now...

We all have a friend or two that falls into this category...... I'm lucky enough to have a few. So this design is me, raising a glass to my whiskey buddies.....

Colorform work trying to make sense of the clusters of humanity we live in and around....

In a world of color, we are grey.

Simple........ I took a great picture of Mohegan Sun, and I tried my best to give it the style of Mr. Vincent Van Gogh......

I wanted to try to tackle a mermaid image because I was inspired by the really fun stuff that my wife has been doing....

We blossom in the sunlight of compassion.

It's not really a request - It's a statement of fact. I need coffee, and I need coffee right now. Some people will see this, and think "That's not for me." And the truth is - They are correct. You'll know if this image is speaking to you the second that you see it.

Say something nice (and MAGICAL!) to each and every person that sees you today! Make them smile and wonder "Where did they get THAT shirt?" Be the reason that a stranger smiles and feels a little bit better about the day.

Sgt. says - Skate, Skate, Skate...

Sgt. says - Skate, Skate, Skate...

In the Major Arcana - The Magician tells secrets, riddles, and stories - but never lies....

I honestly have no idea how far I will go with this, or how long it will go on.... Sort of the same situation as Democracy, Humanity, Free Will, and Femurs.... Who Knows?

Sometimes you just feel faceless - and lost.

Behold, the OctoGod....

Do you remember what Summer felt like when you were young? The way that the grass felt under your feet, and the beach smelled? The way that the colors looked as the sky changed from day to night? Everything felt different in the Summer of your youth - Everything was hotter, more vibrant, more alive...

I sort of self portrait, or a commentary on self portraits, or some sort of attempt at making a self portrait seem like something more than it is.... It's definitely something - I don't know...

If there's an "Auspice-Tribe-Breed" you would like done, let me know - Also specify if there's a color you prefer. This is mine, Galliard, Glasswalker, and Homid.

We live in shadow.

Simple design, simple skull, simply fun....

Inspired by the lyrics from the band Acid Bath.... So this is my vision of the Earth and Sky.

A play on the idea of what is more powerful - The sword, or the paint brush? Is the way of the warrior more treacherous than the path of the artist?

Make Your Mark On This World

Cemetery Gates

A portrait study inspired by a photograph that a friend posted, small details removed from the original gave the abundance of negative space in the bottom, which I tried to balance out with the frenetic energy / movement in the hair.
