Where He Comes From
Spawned from the noble genes of a staunch Canadian and a lively Mid-Westerner on the tropic Floridian coast, reared in the wild hills of the northern-most Carolina, driven to the Ohio Valley to hone his unprecedented talents, eventually plunged into the pungent arm-pit of the Mid-South, and then back into the tender heart of the Mid-West, only to return to the Mem-pit from which he escaped, Andrew Chandler steadfastly struggles against the powers-that-be in the vain hopes that, one day, he will rise, triumphant, out of the miry clay; a pillar of hope in the relentless scourge of doubtful humanity, and be that which is scorned and adored: a creative force to be reckoned with.
All the while, his amazing wife and 4 kids tolerate his ridiculous eccentricities because they like him so darn much.
Andrew has been freelancing since before he graduated high school in 1999. He attended the Columbus College of Art and Design, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an Illustration Degree and graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2002. He has worked many odd jobs over the years, including his first full-time job at a screen print shop, paid internship at a PCA box plant, and prop building at a special effects company called The Scarefactory. His freelance career took off in 2005 and hasn't regretted it... yet.
He has written and illustrated childrens' books, comic books, comic strips, and produced a mockumentary about a hillbilly super-hero. He's drawn countless caricatures, painted murals, conceived legions of cartoon characters, been a puppeteer, an actor, a costumer, and a special effects makeup artist. He loves helping people achieve their creative goals and working with teams of creative people.
