Attention: Patric Bates is super nice and generous and just overall the best

So I'm a little late to posting this because I, unlike Patric Bates, am the worst (although in terms of procrastinating things, I'm probably like, top 10). I sent Patric a Christmas/Birthday card last month to show my appreciation for his art, and because the couple of times I've ordered from him he's included a handwritten card along with little extras that totally make my day. In response, he sent this amazing gift of prints, coasters, jewelry, buttons, stickers, and a Christmas bookmark that I'll probably still be using in the middle of summer, haha.

Like, look at all this! Holy crap!

This is a cute little booklet showing his process of painting, and a discount code because this guy is just too generous for his own good.

Look at these cute little buttons! My boyfriend actually said "I wonder if he has a print of the Star Wars one" and I had to contain myself because I had just ordered the Star Wars print and am waiting until his birthday to give it to him.

I've already gifted one of the coasters to my mother-in-law, who decided to use it as a Christmas ornament because she "didn't want to ruin the nice gift," lololol.

This little weirdo is probably our favorite, and he'll get a sweet custom painted frame now that the holidays are over and we actually have time to do things again.

I just wanted to say thank you to a lovely artist who doesn't get nearly as much appreciation as he deserves, and let everyone here on Imgur know how great he is, both as an artist and a human being.

Now go out and buy some sweet art, ya filthy animals!
