A Note From The
Artist:
"The purpose of my
work in narrative art
is the exploration of
the human condition,
examining the
seemingly
contradictory, or
dichotomous, nature
of mankind by
illustrating the
struggle between his
instinctive primal
drives and his
transgressive
endeavors... and how
these opposing
forces conflict.
I intend the
WORGARD epic to be
my magnum opus in
narrative art, a
definitive exploration
of the human
condition,
incorporating grand
Nietzschean themes
with the radical
ideologies and beliefs
of my own world
view. Bold in scope,
innovative and
visionary, undiluted
and uncensored, this
series of stories will
afford me the range
and opportunity to
explore and express
my perspectives
concerning the
complicated animals
we are.
Told from an ancient
perspective, utilizing
eternal allegories,
universal symbols
and metaphors,
delving into
undeniable truths,
my work endeavors
to challenge the
reader's modern
perceptions of
ourselves and the
world we live in."

October 30, 2010 - Over one year ago, I
began dismantling my online presence
by deleting or discontinuing activity on
numerous ancillary websites starting
with Myspace, then Blogger and
Twitter, Youtube (even though there
are 2 finished unreleased Patty videos)
and so on. Those remaining dead sites
were left as cyber sign posts along the
road to this main BV site, which had
been dormant for the last 3 months as I
had been contemplating ending it, as
well. Eventually, the only sites that will
continue living are my daily active eBay
and Naughtybids stores where I sell
artwork and publications.
Certainly, such a radical retrenching in this age of Internet self-glorification is
considered unconventional and perhaps foolish on my part, but I find the incredible
narcissism exhibited daily on the Internet by both creators (often referred to now as
“content producers”) and parasites to be appalling. So I have largely moved on from it
all. However, some form of update forum is needed here to address the numerous
questions I receive via email and actual paper letters concerning my work, as I do not
do shows anymore, maintain no mailing list, and work in seclusion without utilizing
business partners, agents or promoters. I do appreciate your interest and patronage
and will continue this platform for awhile longer, at least into summer 2011. So
welcome to the renewed Battlefront. Stay strong out there and see you again soon.

July 21- Sean Patty art T-shirt designs and big
17"x11" art prints have been newly added to the
BATTLEGROUND VICTORY ARMORY store. Look for
more designs and products added all summer long
HERE
February 12, 2011- THOR: SKY GOD (17"x11.5) is a new
painting I made a couple days ago after not painting since
summer 2010. I guess I may take one day each week and
do a painting if the response to this piece is okay. It's
been up on eBay HERE and closes on the 17th.
August 11, 2011- THORKIL (18"x12") is a new
painting on masonite I made a couple days ago,
(featuring a comic book character from the
acclaimed WORGARD comic book series which will
be serialized again in an upcoming magazine) a
mysterious renegade Viking warrior and uncle to
Worgard, seen here in armor, cloak, sword and
warhammer, bloody from battle, standing before a
burning church! It's been up on eBay HERE and
closes on the 15th.
March 23- The 4th issue of WORGARD VIKING
BERSERKIR was finished a few weeks ago and will
be printed soon. I will finally get around to releasing
the delayed Digital Editions thru Wowio after that, as
well. The 5th issue in the saga is laid out and I will
return to finishing the pages after completing THOR:
PORTENTS OF THE RAGNAROK #1, a story that I
stopped work on over a year ago and have now
returned to painting the pages and finishing the 1st
magazine. Yes, this story is fully painted and my
intention is to elevate the bar once again to new
heights, displaying the vision, originality and hard
work that you cannot find in other comics today.
There is no comics artist working at this level today.
It's alot of work but must be done to demonstrate
the potential of the comics medium. This is the first
short story in a series of magazines that present
events involving the Aesir of Asgard and the
challenges faced by Thor, Odin, Tyr and the other
Norse Gods leading up to the end of the world at
Ragnarok, the final destiny of the Gods! I have begun
offering the original pages for auction on eBay HERE
and this 1st page closes on March 29th.
December 25, 2011- December sure has been a bitch, with the hurricane-force wind
storm that hit and caused much damage to the BV grounds, an identity theft situation,
problems with eBay deleting auctions again, and significant damage done to my
desktop computer by a hacker and lack of access to important files. All of this has
caused me to direct much energy and time to these matters, some of which have not
been fully resolved yet like the computer situation. Only today was I able to update this
site after 3 weeks offline. I am way behind on many projects and commissions and had
hoped to start 2012 in a better position but it was not meant to be. All one can do is
continue to work hard and push forward and slowly the goals will be achieved.
Another important issue that will be addressed is a matter with Bill Cox of
ComicArtFans.com, a person I once did business with and has earned my disapproval
for actions on his part directed against me in November. In December, I had planned to
create a page devoted to Cox and any other disreputable people in this business who
deserve to be revealed in detail and discussed and, most importantly, NOT supported
financially, but the events of this month have pushed that site back to January. There is
only so much time in the day afterall. The good news is that many collectors of my
work, once aware of the issues with Cox, have already gotten on board and will not
continue to support this person and his site. I plan to devote energy all through 2012,
and beyond, to drive traffic to the BV BLACKLIST page and alert Creators and collectors
to the TRUTH about Bill Cox and his activities.

January 28, 2012- Before I worked in comics and
fantasy art, pornographic work, cards and pinups,
I had explored the human condition through the
art mediums of painting, sculpture, photography,
prose and poetry. Decades ago, back in the 1980s
and early 1990s, I created a large body of
paintings in the figurative Expressionist tradition
on canvas, paper, plywood and masonite.
Sometimes exhibited in fine art gallery shows of
the time period, these figurative works were bold
in scope, daring and radically experimental,
showcasing the potent Visions of a young painter
in his early 20s who fearlessly challenged the
conventional ideas of what modern art
represented and what art could become.
Recently, on New Years eve of 2012, I recovered several large heavy rolls of canvases,
folders of art and sculptures from a secret location in the Los Angeles valley where
these works had been stored in the darkness for 20 years. These works are in
excellent condition and I have started making them available on eBay. 2012 marks my
return to Expressionist painting and starting on the first of the year I resumed work in
this direction and am currently restructuring the stronghold for the continued creation,
reproduction and storage of large works, both old and new. A rebirth of sorts, the new
work bridges the Past with the Now and these works continue the exploration into the
Future of the human animal and urge the re-awakening of the true creative and
expressive God force within us all. I will also be offering large scaled canvases and
sculptures for local pick-up from the BV stronghold east of Los Angeles. These huge
unique artworks will be listed as soon as I have devised a suitable photographic
reproduction process.
