[edit] Biography
Patrick Farley the creator of comics under the anthology Electric Sheep Comix. Scott McCloud cites [1] him as an early pioneer of the webcomics movement. He is the author of a semi-autobiographical webcomics graphic novel The Guy I Almost Was and of several other Web based comics or stories, listed below.
One unusual project of his is Apocamon: The Final Judgement, a satirical, stylized presentation of the Book of Revelation in a graphic style similar to the Pokemon trading card game and a writing style similar to the comic book tracts of Jack T. Chick.
In addition to the traditional strip format Farley has presented work in the infinite canvas mode peculiar to the more innovative web comics, and he has done many stories using 3D tools such as Poser and Bryce.
The Web Comics Examiner wrote a story about Farley's work in December of 2004 titled "Patrick Farley, Apocalyptic Utopian".
As of 2007, Farley has taken a hiatus from comics work to pursue projects in the film industry.
