patrick earl








on the streets of soho last saturday i bumped into one of my favourite artists...
patrick earl.

i was given one of his pieces of art earlier in the year...

i think he was on lower broadway. it was a big road parallel with 
mercer, broome and greene anyway.

i took a few photos of patrick's work...








they are paintings and collages, mainly on scrap pieces of wood
you have to see them close up to be honest. perhaps have a look at his website.







he told me the stories behind the candy sales kids








and the story behind his signature piece... the shirt and tie.








here's a close up shot of one piece








and another here








i did a portrait of patrick in front of his shotgun houses








and another with his whole collection








finally i did a shot of him with his shirt and tie piece with the new york street behind him.
i bought one of patrick's collages. it's a real beauty. i wonder if anybody
can guess which piece it is ? you may have to click on the pics to see them
bigger, but if you know me, it should be easy to tell which piece i bought.

patrick is a top man. he's talented and intelligent and one of those people who brightens up your day when you meet. please check out his website...


you can buy his work from his website, or if you're in new york, keep an eye out for him
on the streets of soho and say hello from me.
