So here goes...
What are the basics people should know about you?
My name is Drew. I'm 30 years old. I live in a quarry with my wife and no pets. I like beer, burgers, birds, riffs and the majesty of nature.I'm hate approximately 87% of everything, and I'm often confused by the modern world.I also spend most of my time alone, drawing pictures from my mind onto paper.
What are the basics people shouldn't know about you?
People definitely shouldn't know that quite a lot of my time is spentwrestling with self doubt, and convincing myself that I've totally forgotten how to draw.
Preferred Medium and Methods in creating a new works?
Pencil - pen - scan - Photoshop - screen print. Sometimes paint,sometimes brush, sometimes simply smearing the blood of my enemies on a cave wall.
How do you find influence for your pieces?
Everywhere.

Over the course of your career so far what has been some of your standout moments?
Every time someone hires me to work with them is a bit of a victory. I never thought that I would be drawing pictures for a living, so I count every job as a bit of a blessing.
Do you have a favorite piece of work?
Not really. Without meaning to sound massively self deprecating,whenever I look back at my work, i can only see the things that I would change. They usually just look like a page of faults and missed opportunities.
Are there any other Designers you look up to or hold in high regard?
Very much so. The reason I started out on this path was down mainly to Jay Ryan. I loved his work then, and I'm hugely appreciative to him for the encouragement at that early stage.There are lot's of illustrators and designers who's work I love. If I started a list, I'd be here all day.
If you could only listen to five songs for the rest of your time what would they be?
Raining Blood - Slayer
Tracy - Mogwai
Wouldn't it be Nice - The Beach Boys
I See a Darkness - Bonnie 'Prince' Billy
What would you say to someone wanting to go about acquiring a piece ofyour work?
Just ask.
What would you say to up and coming designers and artists?
Don't be in a rush. It takes years and years to find out what you wantto do. Take time to develop, and find your voice.
Any last remarks?
Nope, not really.
