Who's Patrick McHale?
I am!

What do you do professionally?
I've mostly worked in the animation industry. I made a miniseries on Cartoon Network called Over the Garden Wall, and I was the creative director (and a writer) on Adventure Time. More recently I co-wrote a script with Guillermo Del Toro for his stop motion Pinocchio adaptation. I've also written a few comic books, a self published a very short book called Bags which is unfortunately no longer for sale (though there is a graphic novel adaptation available), and an album of music with J.R. Kaufman called Those Wild Days. Oh, and my wife wrote a book called Blackford Manor.

What are you working on now?
I'm currently writing & developing a few personal projects that I refuse to tell you about. I also designed a couple card games which have been sitting in my drawer for years now, but they need final artwork. If anybody owns a game company and wants to release my games, feel free to reach out.

Why is the website called "oldsidelinghill"?
"Old Sideling Hill" is the name of an old song about returning home after many years to find that your town has changed but has also remained the same. It is also the name of the setting for many little stories I've written in private which may or may not be published after my death.

What happened to your old website?
It's been replaced by this boring one. I've never been particularly good at keeping up with my website, so I've decided to leave it bare-bones.
