About the Artist
Andrew was born in England in 1978. His family moved several times until settling into the eastern US in the mid 1980′s. He has lived and worked in New York since 1996.
Andrew’s work spans a wide spectrum of mediums from illustrations and paintings to toys and sculptures. Much of his work is brought together by a sense of humor that often belies a more serious and sombre message.
His work has been featured in solo and group gallery shows from LA to Paris and has been covered by publications such as The New York Times and Wired.
