If you need anything done visually for your song, Patrick is your guy. He took my album cover and turned it into something that looks like it is straight out of a movie. He is also very kind and very fast with responding. I can’t wait to use the Canvas he made for me! I see myself working with him again very soon.

Patrick created a canvas for my latest single. I was very happy with his work. He was very responsive and made great suggestions. The quality of the canvas he delivered was very good and exactly how I wanted it to be. I only ask for a few changes (mostly the color of the canvas) which Patrick implemented right away. All in all, I'm very happy with his work and would recommend him.

A superbly skilled artist who goes way WAY out of his way to get you something unique and creative. Patrick is really responsive and communicates clearly and efficiently. Highly recommend!!

Paddy was a complete pleasure to deal with. From the initial contact his response was both prompt, professional yet friendly and approachable.
So much so, the original project was extended further! This additional work was completed much sooner than required, maintaining contact throughout and stamping his own creativity onto the finish product.
No number of alterations we're too many. For a first-time user of Soundbetter, Paddy's certainly left a very positive user experience.

Great and fast communication and very well-done work here. Cheers Paddy.
Great service, always prompt to reply and helped me create my vision!!
Pat has produced multiple short animations for us as a band and small business. His work is always of the highest quality and has an exceptional attention to detail. He's your man if you need quality guaranteed!
Patrick did a wonderful job on our music video 'Float Away'. He created an amazing style that suited the song to a tee, and created an emotive storyline to boot. For me, the song is now inseparable from the video.
We were so please we hired Patrick again to make an animated album cover for another single which added a fresh dimension that helped to hold people's attention for facebook ads.
Patrick animated our EP artwork and did a fantastic job. It Was subtle and tasteful, while at the same time being eye catching. He emphasised the quality of the original art while not drawing focus by overdoing the motion element. Having the animated art gave us loads more options for showcasing the music. Also a great guy to work with and quick turnaround time
