Andy is an artist who has a ton of energy! You can see it in his work. I haven't spoken with him in person (he lives in Malaysia!) but I could just imagine this guy having a good time and goofing around every chance he gets! He has a lot of personality and his artwork shows it! He was a little shy about being interviewed, but I am glad he did agree to it, so thanks a bunch for the nice chat Andy.  

Andy has a really nice style! His comic spreads have an overall nice free feel to them as well. One thing I love about doing these interviews, is seeing all the different styles and hearing about different approaches to art from different artist.

It is a true blessing for me that each artist interviewed has shared their valuable time to answer some questions and allow their art to be displayed here so a big thanks to all who have participated thus far! I also think every interview so far has been a blast because of each person's individuals personality! Everyone answers the questions differently..some answer with long statements... and some are short and sweet! Nothing wrong with either in my book! Without further hold ups...here is the interview!  

Questions by me...answers and ALL Art by Andy.
