Dave Van Patten is a Grammy Award winning album artist, illustrator, muralist, and designer from Long Beach CA,  best know for his colorful imagery, playful surrealism and humorous tone. With a foundation in comics, Van Patten branched out into large scale mural work with World Wide Walls (POW!WOW!) in 2016 and 2017, allowing his tiny comic drawings to span across entire buildings.

Since then Van Patten has painted murals around the world, working with clients such as Warner Music Group/ Rhino Records, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Quiksilver, Yeti, OpenSea, city programs, local breweries and coffee houses. The bulk of his inspiration is pulled from dark humor comics, 1960’s surrealism, psychedelic garage rock/punk albums, and modern societal absurdity.
