Patrick Tianen toils beneath the gray, brittle skies of Brew City, Milwaukee, longing for country comforts & sky blue waters. Worry & Wonder, Diamond Lust, Pastoral Tragedy, Antiquated Love, Placid Ponies & Weepy Demons are some of his favorite things & closest friends. Current works include nurturing the comic, collective lovechild Demongun magazine with dear cohorts Angelina Krahn & Bernie McGovern, wrestling the mammoth animated epic Thundering Through the Dawn, and escaping into cheap, fleeting fantasy. Through his painting and illustration, he employs hyperbolic color and imagery to mine the mundane for lurid subtext and big laughs.
