Today’s Artist Spotlight: Pax et Romana!

My name is Patrick Halm, and I work under the pen name Pax et Romana.

I started making images copying Peanuts comic strips, but I picked up art as a discipline when my aunt sent me a life drawing book when I was around 10.

My biggest inspirations are other artists in my local and online communities; I love the kind of social collaboration that builds up around these people and the way they inspire and instruct others.

I'm never able to predict which pieces will be most popular. I think it's a mistake to assume that fan art of popular shows is the only thing that's viable, though, as there's always people who just appreciate creative drawing. I like to play with franchises and concepts that are under-represented. That way when it does connect with somebody, you get to share this "I never thought I'd see that" moment which is super fun.

What got you started making art?

I’m not sure what started it all. I’ve always enjoyed drawing and making art, but for whatever reason it wasn’t until recently that I realized I could sell and share my art with others.

What is your biggest inspiration?

Darling Army is my biggest inspiration. The clothing she makes is incredibly adorable. The thing I find most inspiring is that she has made doing that her full time job. Making art for a living is something that is often discouraged because it doesn’t pay well, but the fact that she has made it her full time job is uplifting and it motivates me.

What do you find to be the most popular pieces?

Well, I’m still pretty new to selling my art but right now it’s definitely my buttons. They are like potato chips, you just can’t have only one!
