Patrick Keith
Truly a Renaissance artist at heart, Patrick began his art at an early age sculpting and drawing. Over the course of his life he has studied and crafted art, music, sculpture, photography, cinematography, animation and audio recording engineering in a desire to develop a variety of skills, interests and techniques.
While working at various jobs to pay bills he continued to study and grow as an artist on his own. In 1999 he co-created the six-issue Ernor comic series with his wife, Vicky. While working on this and other comic projects he developed skills in desktop publishing using Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXpress. This grew into producing digital paintings and ultimately led to his first game book cover commission with LivingRoom Games. In 2000 Patrick joined the Association of Sci-fi and Fantasy Artists. Since then he has produced work for several clients in the gaming industry including cover, interior and collectible gaming card art. Patrick paints in oils, acrylics and pixels.
Upon returning from GenCon 2005, Patrick resumed sculpting and endeavored to work through his animosity towards the dreaded "green putty", the default medium required to craft miniature gaming figures. After compiling a mountain of reference on the internet he managed to complete his first recognizable miniature figure (not counting the short-lived disaster in sculpting with it ten years previous). Shortly after, Patrick attended the Reaper Artist Conference and participated in a few workshops which solidified his technique and imparted invaluable instruction and tips. In January of 2006 he sold his first commercial figure to Hasslefree Minitaures in England. He is currently making himself available to miniature companies as a freelance figure designer and sculptor, while also offering his own line of miniature gaming figures through MorganKeith Studios.
Both Patrick and Vicky also participate at irregular intervals with the Asylum Paint Club at Reaper Miniatures in Denton, TX.
