Meet Wayne Pate

Do you know Wayne Pate?



 
If not, you should...

Wayne Pate is a super fabulous illustrator that produces quirky, fun and affordable master pieces.  Mr. Pate started out as a free lance designer working in a more commercial design space with companies like the Gap, Old Navy and J Crew.  He is a self taught artist (which is completely inspirational) and he decided to take a leap and begin doing illustrations on his own.  That was over six years ago and we bet Wayne is glad he decided to follow his desire...From that point forward, we can imagine he has never looked back to the commercial world...

Can you imagine doing what you really love and also having other people dig it?   

Here are some of my favorite illustrations...
Rising of the Setting Sun

Flock





And Wayne Pate did this rendition of Rising of the Setting Sun exclusively for Serena and Lily's Bazaar.  Cool stuff!
