When I asked Patrick for a little something for the intro, this is what he said, “You can just say that I’m an up and coming artist here in San Francisco, born in the “wine country”, wants to get a gallery show at fecal face dot gallery, uhhh I like Nintendo 64 and kombucha. Biggie smalls is tight too”.
Also, I’d like to note that Patrick has never gotten a hang over. To that I answer: Call me when you’re 30 and tell me that. Let’s see what tips Patrick has about being a broke-ass:
Name: Patrick Sean Gibson
Age: Deuce-Deuce ( a.k.a. Will Clark 22 )
Occupation: Conductor of Visual Magic
What neighborhood do you live in?: The Belly of San Francisco '“ Richmond Distrct

Best money saving tip: The Robin Hood Theory – Steal from the rich, Give to the poor!
What do you refuse to spend money on?: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire
Most expensive thing you’ve ever bought: 1977 Chevy Stepside Pickup
How’d that feel?: At first, it felt like pure American ecstasy on wheels. However, the feeling changed when I eventually flipped the car. I mean, that’s reasonable right? I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t feel too good if motor fluids came gushing upon your face while you hang upside down from your seat belt and thinking the car is going to explode.
Favorite cheap eat: Breakfast at Dynamo Donuts. Lunch at Molinari’s Deli. Dinner at Café Gratitude.
Favorite dive bar: Delirium Café in Brussels, Belgium. Holler to my homies in Belgium!
Best deal you’ve ever gotten: Organic produce discount bags from Thom’s Natural Foods. For only 150 pennies you can purchase yourself a personal garden for your stomach!
Favorite free thing to do: Adventure throughout San Francisco & browse Fecal Face Dot Com
If you woke up a millionaire, what’s the first thing you’d buy?: First, I would shower my friends & family with gifts. Second, I’d buy a 1957 Chevy Bel Air and make it electric. Third, I’d buy my girlfriend 3 pugs and a Valentino Gown. After all that was accomplished, me, my Valentino dressed girlfriend, a pyramid of pugs, and the 1957 Chevy Bel Air would hit the road and never look back.
Despite not having money, do you still love your life?: Yeah man! I’ve got the best friends, family, and girlfriend anyone could ask for. I love all those guys and gals and if it wasn’t for them, I’d be one unhappy dude!
Do you own my book?: Nope, I’m too broke. My friend Wes owns it though. That counts right?
Best hangover cure: Never had one. I’m made of steel. No, like seriously. I’m made out of steel! I was born into an Irish Catholic family in the Wine Country. There isn’t a better equation for being unbeatable against the magic drank.
Are you a hipster?: As Mr. E-40 would say, 'œI be more hipper than a hippopotamus!'
