Patrick Glynn (aka Parrotworks; T-Shirt Artist)


Love this photo; one of my kids took a shot when I was a bit too into my work (or it that play?) 		 

Hello World. By day I'm a web designer and programmer. By the time I get to a project like updating my own personal t-shirt design portfolio, I'm a bit outta steam. So forgive the lack of wowness here.

I'm cautiously moving into printing and selling some of my own designs. The biggest yellow flag for me is simply spreading myself too thin. I run my own business and have three daughters and a lovely wife to enjoy life with. Over the past year, designing t-shirts and competing in Woot Derbies has been a hobby - usually by night. Let's see where it goes.

I have successfully avoided writing a blog for as long as they have been around and don't plan to jump swiftly to any routine here either. Generally, I hope to print 4-6 shirts per year and update my small but loyal fan base from time to time.

This page is a starting point. I've begun rummaging through old designs to figure which ones scored well at Woot, with people I am close to or frankly just feel right.

You are always welcome to try me via email: patrick (little-a-symbol) parrotworks.com
