Digital Artist

"I was only hired as an artist to create some images for the local site, as Patch.com hosts websites for towns across the states. They paid me per image I made for them through Paypal, It wasn't a long term job, more like freelance."

Patch.com Employee

"I've worked for Patch.com since April. I've found it to have a great concept but with all the lay offs not a lot of backing from its mother company AOL. The company had 900 sites across the country and employed around 1000 people. But now with the lay offs and cut backs now has about 400 sites and employs 500 people."
