Patrick Farley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Patrick Farley is a freelance illustrator and Web page designer working out of Portland, Oregon. He is also the creator of numerous comics at e-sheep.com or Electric Sheep Comix. Scott McCloud cites him in Reinventing Comics as an early pioneer of the webcomics movement. He is the author of a semi-autobiographical webcomics graphic novel The Guy I Almost Was and of several other Web based comics or stories, listed below.
One unusual project of his is Apocamon: The Final Judgement, a satirical, stylized presentation of the Book of Revelation in a graphic style similar to the Pokemon trading card game and a writing style similar to the comic book tracts of Jack T. Chick.
In addition to the traditional strip format Farley has presented work in the infinite canvas mode peculiar to the more innovative web comics, and he has done many stories using 3D tools such as Poser and Bryce.
