He's the creator of the cutting edge brain concept of Word Juxtapoz®. He is also the creator of these serialized titles: Home Crackers, FUNdaMENTAL aerobix, Visual-nary Cards and Have A Cuppa. Patrick has been "practicing" this unorthodox artform of Word Juxtapoz® for a living for some 10 years now when he published his first book, a 160 page effort entitled "Word Juxtapoz® : A Hilarious Collection of Absurd Word Puzzles." Since then, he has sold over 20,000 copies of his works and conducted numerous workshops - and he has never looked back since!
