Illustration: Yay! Pat Bradbury's back! Let's see what he's got in store for us...

The last time we saw Pat Brad the Lad he was one of the It’s Nice That Graduates back in 2011. He then scarpered off on a two year trip to the British International School in Vietnam where he taught kids how to make art in the same silly, lovely style that he’s so adept at. Be it collages, paintings or just sweet and hilarious brain drippings, Pat’s work always has a peculiar, enticing sheen to it that is so rare in art these days. I don’t know what the recipe for that sheen is exactly, but it’s something to do with the combination of wild abandon and Pat’s kind nature that translates so immediately into his work, making it incredibly appealing. That hat picture absolutely kills me.
