Hi, welcome to BBQLogos.com (aka hotspotgraphics.com). My name is Patrick Carlson. I have been drawing cartoons since I was in elementary school. I began making money from my work when I was in college. I worked for several screen printers creating designs for college fraternities and sororities. From there, I went into church ministry and middle school education, while cartooning on the side.
In 2004, I quit teaching to pursue my cartooning career full-time. Since then, I have created thousands of cartoon characters and designs for people and businesses all over the world. Not only do I do BBQ designs for teams and restaurants, I illustrate children's book, t-shirt designs, and create cartoon characters.
My work has been seen in restaurants all over the country and on TLC's BBQ Pitmasters and Chopped television shows.
