Andrew has co-authored numerous editions of the Classroom in a Book series on Photoshop, After Effects, and Flash.

In addition to his graphic design work, he is a veteran Photoshop-jockey, and his digital collage illustration work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The LA Times, and The Washington Post.
