Patrick Alexander is me. Hello!
I’m a writer and editor, cartoonist and illustrator, musician, communicator, and youtuber, with experience in comedy, voice work, live performance, audio engineering, and visual programming. I mostly — but not exclusively — like to make things that are funny or fun.
Clients I’ve worked with include Sony Pictures Television, Square Enix, Frederator Studios, and Dark Horse Comics. Please visit the Works page on this website for an overview of my incredibly messy creative career.
I’ve come to think of myself as a ‘creative generalist’. I like to try everything, meaning that, while there are a few things I’m particularly good at, there are loads of things I’m at least pretty good at. As a result, I get the hang of new creative challenges quickly, and I’m good at communicating with other creators (or ‘creatives’ if you insist) and facilitating communication between them.
Lately I’m steering my attention towards writing: fiction and prose, scripts and dialogue, editing and story doctoring. I’m especially keen to turn my hand to branching and non-linear narratives, like in videogames, tabletop role-playing, and gamebooks.
I possess more Model M keyboards, and less Japanese ability, than an observer might reasonably expect.
