Notes from a non-existent semi-autobiographical movie script:

“Diego Patiño is a self-taught and multi-faceted award-winning (and overly hyphenated) visual artist with extensive experience developing assets for clients at leading publishing and media companies in Australia, Brazil, China, Japan, the UK, the US of A, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany.

As an illustrator, he has worked for The New York Times, Wired, The New Yorker, Eight by Eight Studios, The Atlantic, Newsweek, ESPN, Billboard, PRX, Vulture, Village Voice, Puma, The New York Mets, The Washington Post, Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and Los Angeles Magazine, amongst many others.

Specialized in pop-culture narratives with an emphasis on sports, entertainment, and current events, he has demonstrated the ability to ideate, execute, and oversee projects under tight deadlines and budgets. He has also developed a strong reputation for thinking outside the box and designing eye-catching assets for printed and digital media—including magazines, books, websites, apps, and, as of late, apparel.

Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, and based in Brooklyn since 2013 after living in Australia, he’s a former humanoid of the deep and the proud owner and ringmaster of a tongue-eating louse circus. He also loathes the word asset as much as he does referring to himself in the third person.”
