your buddy pat barrett

I think a lot of you don't see my regular GPK work, since it's mostly on the backs of the cards or is part of some gimmicky annoying thing they've added to a series. I write (with a heavy assist from C Walton) and draw the little comic strips that are occasionally funny. I've done some writing for other GPK side ventures, like the Minikins bios, and for some projects I don't think I'm allowed to talk about. Also the lettering on the GPK holiday greeting cards, if you picked some of those up.

I make other kinds of comics, and cartoons, and hand lettering too. A good chunk of my focus is on those other pursuits, but I'm trying to do a better job of reaching out to y'alls because I have fun making things for you, and I hope that you enjoy it at least some of the time.

Oh and uh, not to be gauche or anything, but >ahem< I made some new sketch cards >aHRMM hem hem< one's on eBay right now.


I've spoken to some of you by email; I'm always happy to do that. My portfolio is at patbarrett.com and I'm also on tumblr paddymacjr.

Great work pat barrett!!! There are so many great Topps artists that it's tough to keep up. From the fans to you, we say Thanks for any and all contributions that keep the GPK franchise moving forward! I've been wanting to own some of your work, even so much as a sketch card forever just haven't had the chance. Hopefully one day! Your fantastic! Thanks Pablo~

I am still kicking myself for missing the auction for the psychedelic Bony Tony card with the silver border, easily one of my favorite sketch cards of all time!
