Based in East London, Andre is an emerging self-taught artist who has spent the past few years developing his work.  Andre is influenced and inspired by movie art, street art, fantasy, and comic art as well as photography.  He is driven by the need to capture the essence of the individuals in his work, which, he feels best conveys the issues or themes of human emotions and the environments that affect them.  Andre's use of ballpoint pens as his main medium adds a narrative and depth to the images in the absence of words.
