about...
I work as a freelance illustrator & designer from a home office, the office tends to move around a bit and I divide my time between the UK and Sydney.
I welcome all work enquiries and new types of projects.
I believe projects benefit from a well thought out brief and ultimate goal. I'm committed to the process of getting there and am happy to invest myself into planning and production.
I love my job.

Testimonials
More than an illustrator, Patrick is a mind-reader! He has been the sole cartoonist of HistoriCool (an educational history magazine for 8-14 year old Australian kids) since its first issue, and we’re not quite sure what we’d do without him! From the 2-3 sentence briefs we provide per cartoon, Patrick captures the exact idea of what we want and executes it beyond our expectations every time. HistoriCool would be a lesser magazine without his contribution.

By the time I found Patrick Hawkins I was desperate. I'd already parted company with three illustrators and was looking for someone with talent and a professional attitude. Happily, Patrick has both. He's easy to work with and technically brilliant. He's also inventive, proactive and amenable to change, qualities important to self-publishers like me who find it difficult to translate their visions into an effective brief. Best of all, Patrick comes up with the goods. His drawings are full of life and movement. He's produced one cover (Sophie's Return) that I'm delighted with and the cover he's currently working on (Nemesis) promises to be even better.

Georgia Breeze Designs has been working alongside Pat over the last two years. He has been my technical right hand man, he has helped me develop my branding and a professional looking website. Not only is Pat technically brilliant, but he is an endless source of creativity and inspiration. It is so great to work with someone that is easy going, approachable and that I feel confident enough to discuss my ideas with. I intend to continue to working with Pat as my business develops. He never fails to deliver, always meeting deadlines and going that extra mile.
