Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death

I draw comics and talk about the weather a lot. I also believe in ghosts. Trying not to let ALS get my goat. Eyegaze Drawing until the bitter end.

Hello friends. This is Robert. Please take a look at these beautiful prints that Eleanor made to benefit Patrick’s family.

I’m excited to share a project I was working on with my friend Patrick Dean (@PDean_Yeah) before he died. Six of Patrick’s beautiful drawings done with eye-gaze technology as a stunning set of letterpress prints. Available MONDAY for only $180. All proceeds to Patrick's kids.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

I love you, Patrick Dean. We all do.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

Hello, friends. This is Patrick's friend Robert. I'm posting here to let you know that Patrick left this world yesterday.

It's hard, it doesn't seem real, and it hurts.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

There are currently no plans for services or memorials, but when it is safe to do so, the FLUKE small press festival will happen again and it will forever serve as a remembrance of this beautiful genius and all that he gave us.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

@NotSoVanilla $5,000 at least.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

I am moved beyond words by the response this fundraiser has gotten. Everyone's generosity has made my last week in this hospice facility a little less scary as I believe my family will have some financial stability after I am gone.

Thank you. I love y'all.

Hello my Twitter family! I'm doing a GoFundMe for our wonderful perfect genius friend Patrick Dean, @PDean_Yeah. He's in the last stages of ALS & the complex care he needs is tremendously expensive. If there's anything you can give, I'd be so grateful.

"Arizona Vampire", drawn ever so slowly throughout this week using eyegaze technology. I have more to say about this week, trust me. #DrawingWhileDisabled #DisabledArtists #ALS #LouGehrigsDisease #MND #EyeGaze #EyeGazeArt #Vampire #Dracula #HorrorArt #DisabilityTwitter

Untitled head sketch drawn the day before yesterday with eyegaze technology. Used the watercolor and crayon effects drawing tools for this and I guess I don't hate it. #DrawingWhileDisabled #DisabledArtists #ALS #LouGehrigsDisease #MND #EyeGaze #EyeGazeArt #DisabilityTwitter

Glad to know some people still find the act of standing on a restrained person's neck for almost ten minutes until they die to be a bad thing punishable by law.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

I have no idea which way this is going to go.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

Well, that's a pleasant surprise. It shouldn't have to be but we've all seen too many trials end with cops walking free after murdering someone.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Remember: none of Chauvin’s colleagues turned him in. He murdered a man in broad daylight and we are here today because a brave Black girl named Darnella Frazier kept taping despite threats from the cops on the scene.

I drew a bird this weekend with eyegaze technology while trying out new painting tools in the art program. #DrawingWhileDisabled #DisabledArtists #ALS #LouGehrigsDisease #MND #EyeGaze #EyeGazeArt #birds #BirdArt #WildlifeArt #NatureArt #nature #DisabilityTwitter

@michaelrmuller It's the comics with the adorable twee couple giggling about eating too many cupcakes and chatting in baby talk that get A QUARTER OF A MILLION LIKES that have me wondering why people are so attracted to fluff like that.

[Patrick Dean: Exhausted From Laughing at Death @PDean_Yeah]

@michaelrmuller All the time. It boggles the mind.
