HELLO My name is Phil McAndrew and I am an illustrator, cartoonist and writer. I graduated from Daemen College in 2007 with a BFA in illustration after being awarded their portfolio-based four year visual art scholarship. Originally from Syracuse, New York, I spent a few years in San Diego, California and currently live in Ithaca, New York with a girl, a dog and lots of books.

AT THE MOMENT I'm working on a proposal for my next book and taking on as much freelance illustration work as I can handle.
