Children’s Books – Squat The Robot?

Robot Story 00 Cover

Back in January of 2013, I was informed that the book “Squat The Robot?” was available in Amazon’s Kindle store and would be made available a few days later for a paperback copy. The story is an unique one which finds Squat the robot getting into a crazy and weird adventure. When I was hired on to illustrate this story I was impressed with how it turned out given how strangely unique the story is.

Amazon’s Description:

Squat was cleaning Glistening Glow when hair began to show. She had no idea why until remembering that Creepy Cupid guy. It seems she was under his curse and to make things worse, he had captured her love, making him and his band sing like a dove.

Follow Squat as she begins her quest to put everything back to normal and stop that Creepy Cupid pest. But will it come due? That can be found out by you. Just add this book to your mat from none other than Pat Hatt.

Throwback Thursday – March Madness Edition

mm-coverAs I have mentioned in the past, there is a lot more to me than just my kids. One of those things is that I used to DJ back before kids. Back then it was mainly hip-hop but now-a-days I typically will mix some electronic dance music (EDM). I don’t get opportunities as often as I had in the past so when a chance comes up to do a little mixing I will take up that chance.

Earlier this year I reached out to my buddy up north in Canada and asked him if he was interested in working together on a new March Madness mix for this year. He agreed and we began work on our mixes. Along with our mixes DJ Digikid also started something that we had created years ago, but to see what it has morphed into now is incredible. I’m not gonna mention what it is until Friday’s March Madness release but it is a pretty cool idea that I hope many will enjoy.

So in preparation for the latest March Madness 2017 mix from me and DJ Digikid that will be released tomorrow, Friday (March 10th) please enjoy a throwback to 2015 with a previous March Madness mix. There is some choice language in this mix, so beware if listening at work. If you can put in some headphones and enjoy!

March Madness is Coming Back

marchmadness-preview-coverAs a dad there are a lot of things I do with the kids but not a lot that I do for myself. So when an opportunity comes around where I can work on a project that doesn’t involve the kids I start to get excited. It’s already hard enough balancing my work and life along with the blog, but add in my own fun projects then things can get a little crazy.

So if you didn’t know, in the past I was a DJ for an online site that I ran and managed with some friends. DJing with them turned into producing the instrumentals you see released here at St. Louis Dad. Well, I never really stopped DJing. I have tons of mixes that I have made but not everything gets released, and because of licensing and copyright issues most mixes do not stay out in the wild for too long.

I am thrilled to announce that I will be back in the lab with my good buddy from up north DJ Digikid putting together a new installment of March Madness. I have some good plans for my portion of this mix and I am positive Digikid will bring out something amazing. I will be sure to post here once everything is live. You can always follow my production company Missouri Mobile Productions for updates, or you can even follow my DJ account 83rw on Twitter and Mixcloud for more updates as well.

Also, I want to shout-out the new International Alliance Facebook page which serves as the hub for all things EDM related between myself, DJ Digikid, and more!
