A graduate of the Center for Cartoon Studies MFA program, I publish a handmade comic series called Oak & Linden (available in comic stores nationwide) which collects stories like “Hiccough & Belch,” “Dental Damned!!” and Petrified Girlfriend. My comics have also appeared in anthologies such as Nymphonomena, Caboose, and Top Shelf 2.0, and I’m a co-creator of Farmy Acres, a web comic.

My work has been featured in magazines and blogs such as the Comics Journal, American Illustration and Pop Candy, as well as in galleries across the country. I’ve done drawings for video games, films, logos, magazines, book covers, show flyers, the New York Times, Slate, and more.

I’m the son of two actors and I live with my girlfriend and our fat orange cat.

This is a stylish mini, from the gold on red cover to the cream-colored paper to Barrett’s thick and distinctive line…Barrett’s got great chops, and I’ll be curious to see how he chooses to build on his abilities.

Of the many anthologies to emerge from the Center for Cartoon Studies, Nymphonomena has emerged as one of the best, with only the highly ambitious third volume of Sundays anthology surpassing it.  No anthology surpasses Nymphonomena for sheer audacity and dedication to its theme, however…Pat Barrett’s “Let The Genital Mingling Commence” (the dialogue this quartet came up with for the film was truly inspired) is the slickest and most accomplished from a technical standpoint, and that slickness serves this story well.  It’s about the making of the film, the intermingling of sexism & racism, and the ways in which the free love culture of the 70s didn’t exactly eradicate either of these problems…Nymphonomena‘s concept, cohesiveness, design and overall execution & care make this a truly fascinating collaboration.
