Pat Riot is a non media-specific artist based in Los Angeles, CA since 1996. At age 46, he lives in a house, on a hill without a sign, with his Belle femme, Le choix du roi, and two corgis. Born into a mix of eastern Michigan and western Michigan bloodlines, Pat grew up in central Virginia and supports both the “nurture” and “nature” theories surrounding one’s social relationship with the world. His influences include MAD magazine, deceased American artist Henry Darger, living American artist Tim Hawkinson, the French artist Space Invader, and the timeless futurist, Buckminster Fuller.
