Patrick
Smith has written, produced, animated, and directed a variety
of award winning animated films.
He also directed the Emmy nominated MTV series Downtown and continued on to direct the popular
animated series Daria.
Patrick has created many creative commercial spots
providing his signature style like Zoloft to the Morgan Spurlock’s 30 Days series.
Patrick's bizarre, morphing style tells symbolic
stories of identity and emotion, and has extended beyond film. His
unique paintings and public
art installations have earned him accolades outside the world
of animation; his fine art has been represented internationally by
CVZ
Contemporary Gallery in New York.
Patrick is
a Senior Thesis advisor at the Pratt Institute in New York, a fellow with the
New York Foundation
of the Arts, and a curator for
multiple international film and animation festivals.
