My name is Phil McAndrew and I'm an illustrator, cartoonist and writer living in upstate New York. I've putting comics and drawings on the internet since I was a teenager, for almost 20 years. I mostly create short, funny comics, some of which were collected in my first book, Crying in Front of Your Dog and Other Stories. I've also illustrated books for children, like the Caveboy Dave series of graphic novels written by Aaron Reynolds and Monster Science by Helaine Becker. I've contributed comics and humor to MAD Magazine, The New Yorker, and The Nib. I've worked on projects for Cartoon Network, Penguin Random House, BOOM! Studios and many others. I've written articles about drawing and creativity, I've given talks and held drawing workshops, and I enjoy making and sharing creative tools online for free, like my Big List of Stuff To Draw.
Most of my time the last few years was spent working full-time on a string of very long back-to-back freelance illustration jobs. I love being a freelance illustrator and I'm always thankful to have opportunities to work on big projects with cool clients. But it's not easy to make a living drawing pictures, and the constant hustle of trying to take on enough freelance work to pay the bills usually leaves me with very little time to work on my own comics and drawings. With your support, I'll be able to devote more of my time to creating comics, illustrations, and other projects of my own that I can share with YOU, right here on the internet.
I've tried throughout my career to support other artists whenever I can and I'm extremely grateful for the support that I myself have received. Thank you!!!
