PAT BANAHAN
~ multi faceted artist from Illinois ~
"I'm not really sure though. I don't know what's going on" - Pat
Been following Pat on social media since 2019
Talking to him on the phone about this blog was an extremely confusing conversation but I can tell he is a very genuine person that cares a lot about Art
I still do not fully understand him but his work is most definitely
. . . O u t s i d e B e l i e f . . .
WORK / STYLE
" I do a lot of different things which can be good and bad because sometimes I spread myself too thin instead of focusing on one thing but I am primarily a Visual Artist."
"I made a name for myself/brand with music videos and working with Chicago artists like King Louie, Famous Dex, Lil Durk, King Von, Young Chop, Lil Ron etc."
"My niche was animation so a lot of times random directors would reach out to me with videos they shot in multiple different cities with multiple different artists like "I shot this von video in Atlanta, can you edit/animate it?" Since I am good at post production editing, I was able to work with a handful of artists I've never met before (Shordie Shordie/Murda Beatz etc.)"
"I flew the drone for Lil Durk Super Powers music video but also animated "Blika Blika". Like a bunch of random things a director might not do like tedious animation or flying drones"
2020 REEL
WHATS NEXT ?
"that's an invasive question.." - Pat
Physical Collages - presented in the form of an Art Show
Shooting More Videos
"...but I literally need hip surgery which sucks because I can't shoot as much so I'm messing around with AI and editing other peoples footage"
Filming / Editing / Animation
"I have a handful of artists I want to work with again including nxffie, Matty Wood$, ITM, and more"
"I produced 2 projects for an artist in Kansas City last year named Gods Computer. A lot of people don't know I make Beats/Produce too so I definitely want to expand on that"
Lost TV as a brand in general is 100% the main focus"
Clothes
"... but I haven't made clothes in years because I want the quality to be even better and fit my vision more"
