Patricio (Pato) Oliver is the artist on
ClockStopper's story for the 2nd SENTINELS Anthology!
What can I say about Pato???
Let me rephrase that...What can I say about
Pato publicly that won't get me in trouble or offend anyone reading this, lol.
I met Patricio when he came to visit NYC in
2014. Luciano Vecchio was attending NYCC with me and had asked if I had room to
host his friend. Of course I said yes. Little did I know that I was letting the
devil into my home. Honestly, Pato is an evil force of nature! He's wickedly
talented, insanely funny and rotten to the core. Naturally, we hit it off
immediately and became instant friends, lol.
I love Pato's artwork! His style is very
energetic and graphic. His character designs are original and thought-provoking.
And he uses color very boldly to express emotion in his work. This all made him
the perfect choice to illustrate Luciano's story for Simon (Clockstopper). It's
an important part of the Anthology and is the final time we see the 3rd
generation SENTINELS as children. This story leads right into the longer story
with them as adults and also serves to show some of the changes within Simon
and reveal his new superhero name.
How then could I intrust such an important
character to the Sith Lord known as Pato? That's easy, I became his apprentice
and he forced me to. :P
Seriously though, I'm very proud to have had
Patricio involved in the 2nd SENTINELS Anthology and I think everyone will
agree once they see his work.

He has tons of all ages work there, art from his amazing story "The Book
of Tenebrae" (of which figurine have been made of!!) and his Game of
Thrones art is not to be missed!
