Born in Kingston, Ontario, Andrew moved to Ottawa in 1991 to study Industrial Design at Carleton University.
During this time, he contributed to the Ottawa Citizen's comics page with a weekly strip entitled “Off The Wall”
which was published from 1993 to 1997. A number of his comics were printed in newspapers across North
America through King Features Syndicate. Andrew followed his love of cartooning and was accepted into the
Television Animation program at Algonquin College where he graduated with honours in 1997.
After graduating, Andrew began working in television with a number of local animation studios and continued his
freelance design and animation work with studios in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto. Currently Andrew
resides in Ottawa, Ontario, where he continues to work as a freelance designer for animated television shows as
well as doing conceptual design work for both live action and video game productions.
During 2003 while on hiatus between projects, Andrew began to paint and exhibited at his first show. Utilizing his
design skills, animation background and unique brand of humour, his works vary from contemporary landscapes
to almost graphic cartoon style images.
His work has been featured in a number of art exhibitions in Ottawa, Toronto, Guelph and the Muskokas, as well
as in galleries across Ontario. His work appeals to a wide range of audiences and continues to evolve as he
progresses his art form.
