Andrew Stronge

Andrew Barrington Stronge was born November 16th, 1981 in the small town of Sunderland in the northern part of England. At the age of seven, Andrew's mother, father, and younger brother made the trek over the ocean to the state of Virginia where they continue to reside. Andrew's career took off February 8th, 1990 with the success of his 2 page award-winning illustrated novel, Aliens in California. This second-grade success inspired Andrew to enhance his artistic skills. His school days were cursed due to this success, as he was destined to spend them daydreaming and doodling on the margins of his notebook paper. The doodles eventually developed into full-fledged characters, most of them copied from Andrew's favorite TV shows. Eventually the characters started changing as his imagination started to take hold, and strange cross breeds of Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and Smurfs began to appear. Once Andrew started attending Thomas Dale High School he decided for sure art was his direction in life. Few o
