For the title panels in MUTTS Sunday comic strips, Patrick often takes inspiration from great works of art, paying homage to creators across all periods and styles. This rendition, Whiskers Mother, is inspired by James McNeill Whistlerβs βWhistlerβs Motherβ (1871).
βReal change in the world will only come from a change of heart.β
We recently celebrated the anniversary of βHeart to Heart.β A collaboration between Patrick and His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, it explores how we can help our planet through a compassionate revolution.
