Patrick's IH Adventure (2016 Intern)
-
Time for the sentimental post.
Well guys, this is it. It's officially my last day working as a full time member of Iron Heart UK.
It's amazing how quickly one year passes us by.. and it really seems like it was just yesterday when I first flew into the UK back in January 2016 and almost got denied entry because I told the Border Patrol that I was looking into possibly working in the UK on a visitor's visa… My girlfriend was facepalming the hell out of her self as she saw me dig a bigger and bigger hole for myself as I told them about my life ambitions.. But in the end they let me in anyways and out of that experience, I am now much more mature in my ways hahaha. :p
I want to personally thank @Madame Buttonfly and @Giles for putting up with me through all the emails, official visa crap, your always lovely hospitality (more Paula than G at this point tbh) and for giving me the opportunity to spend such an amazing year working at an even more amazing company. I’ve never had (nor do I think I ever will again) such amazing bosses to work for. Thanks for always trusting in my decisions to do things certain ways and in my creative contributions for the company, hopefully I’ve made you both proud!
Shoutout to @Sam for always taking photos whenever I needed them, teaching me the true meaning of being a PHOTOGRAPHER and model, for all of our adventures while making videos and modeling… We gotta send our modelling shots to GQ. Thanks for always being so smiley cheerful and shit even when it is straight up 9am on a Monday morning... It’s much needed and appreciated through this gloomy ass English weather. Another shoutout sent out to @Winchy for always looking out for me and always being so calm and cool even when shit hits the fan.. usually by my own doing hahaha. I do like to think I have a greater appreciation for 80's music now (as well as the all great David Holmes), and will try my best to listen to my albums in WAV files from now on…. It's been a pleasure working with you both and thank you for everything you’ve done for me. Please know that through everything we’ve experienced together this year, I do consider you two as my big older white British brothers. Do look after @Lindsey, and I know you guys will achieve amazing things.
For everyone else, thanks for supporting this little adventure of mine and keeping updated on this little thread I made. From first learning how to chainstitch, to being able to fly out to Berlin for Burg & Schild's Party, learning about the ins and outs of the business, slaving with everyone to create a Boule Court and so much more, it's truly been quite the experience. It's been real, like really real, but here's to an even more amazing 2017. Iron Heart 4evaaaa and stay stubborn.
Here’s a piece of art I made that speaks volumes about family, love, friendship and never ever giving up on your dreams. It’s the next Picasso /Leonardo da Vinci I honestly do believe.
That it for now.

Thanks again guys for all the kind wishes, it made my flight back home to the states a lot happier!!
That being said, some future videos in the making will be featuring yours truly so I'm excited to be able to put those out and see what you guys think!

hahaha you would not believe how many splinters I got from even attempting to look cool getting off that bench.. those benches are crafted from nightmares and glued together with children's tears. -
Standard Gosport construction, then?
