How Patricia Was Born

The original inspiration for Patricia came from a photo I took in Glasgow museum. I then tried to draw a simplified version of it and that turned into Patricia!

They usually come from somewhere. If it's not a photo I usually go back through my sketchbook and look for a drawing I've done in the past that would fit the character

I can only assume that Patricia was caught in the museum trying to pinch the exhibits and ended up as one herself.

This makes me wonder how many characters have a similar origin story 😂

As an Australian, Patricia being an echidna makes so much sense! We stan a legend!

MysteryChu

That museum creature is known as a Common Echidna and they are from Australia/NZ

This is so cool I had no idea she was based on an actual uhhhh animal thing

I really can’t complain about the quantity (& quality) of birdlife in your work - love those toothy-mouthed mockers and moaners! Never stop doing what you do, my good man. 💜

Check out the last one (sad bat) I stuck a bird in that one

It’s completely fine! I believe you said it would be around November when they would be sent off? But I have patience 😌

I’ve asked the merch people and I’m waiting on a reply. Sorry it’s taking so long!

We love Patricia, an absolute queen.

Eboni Napalm

Bring back the bastard bird!

Love seeing this kind of stuff about your process, thanks for sharing!

Off topic, but do you know if our plushies are still going to be delivered next month? 🥹

There are no words.

I was mortified upon reading this in my notifications and now have to demand Patricia's backstory
