WHO AM I?
It’s a privilege to be living in a cultural melting pot like California. I can take in so many perspectives and find myself overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information to take in every single day. And yet, I’m someone who has a tendency to be trapped inside my own world.
Hey, I’m Andy and I’m an Illustrator and Designer. You can say there’s an edge to my work. I love working with type, illustrated or set, and I love making posters. There’s something about the power of a poster to give glimpses of different worlds that I’m attracted to. Music in particular has an incredible influence over my work.
What do I truly feel about something when I set aside the numerous social pressures? What does it take for me to find fulfillment in a certain practice? I stumble upon answers and sometimes more questions. That’s what keeps me in the creative process.
