The Vast Mind of a New Orleanean'

My name is Jeremy Paten and I'm an artist, muralist, production designer, creative thinker, a son, a brother... a man. Come with me on this journey through life.

I would like to do a graphic novel similar to this. I guess I was knocking the kinks out and looking at how I was gonna render it. I think it’ll be something similar to this. I’m gonna do a couple tweaks, but not much.

This is just me playing around in Photoshop. I needed to knock the cobwebs off, I’ve been making more art traditionally as of late.

Something that I’ve been working on for a couple of weeks. The story of the Astronaut. The character on the right is the antagonist to this story. Stay tuned for more…

Sketch book dump. This was a quick sketch of a neighbor of mine’s house.

I was interviewed by the wonderful Nancy Parker of Fox 8 News in New Orleans for a project I was helping with called “The New Orleans Street Gallery.” I was one of the artists that was selected to paint a utility box in the Lakeview area in New Orleans. The theme was camouflage.

“Since I was born and came out the womb, I was painting with something,” said Jeremy Paten as he brushed green paint on his rendition of a tree.

Paten concentrates on each brush stroke despite an audience on Robert E. Lee Boulevard.

“I definitely get a lot of love,” he said of the passers-by. “They say great job… we like what you are doing!”
