ArtsyGeeky is where I explore the overlap of art, technology, and playful curiosity for people who aren’t twenty-five anymore but are very much still in the game.

I’m Patrick, (also known as “Patrix”). I’m a retired IT professional and creative generalist on the Central Coast of California. My days bounce between gardening, jazz, tennis, digital art, travel, Apple gadgets, and exploring the increasingly provocative AI rabbit hole.

I started ArtsyGeeky.com to answer a simple question: how can tools like AI, Macs, and crypto actually make life richer, more creative, and more fun for an older generation?

This site is for independent thinkers, retirees (or those thinking seriously about it), and older creatives who want clear, honest explanations instead of hype. You’ll find experiments, guides, and reflections on using AI, Apple tech, and digital art in everyday life, with a strong bias toward practical use, creative play, and staying safely out of scam territory.

The goal is straightforward: help you feel more creative and confident with modern tech so you can make things, connect with people, and enjoy more of whatever stage of life you're in.
