    You should have asked Andy how many times he’s gone mad during the last decade, working by himself. I can feel it already, after only a year.

    A man all about his craft and none of the other bullshit – top dawg!

    It was interesting to hear about Andy’s photographic endevours as I am a great lover of the works of Prokudin-Gorskii’s“ techniques more commonly referred to as “Digichromatography” the exact same design as the digital camera’s Andy spoke of only as put by the man himself “it was proper photography not none of this digital nonsense”. Of course it’s the purpose of the picture that is important, not so much the processes used to get there!

    This interview showed a different side to Andy, different to the persona that most would probably relate to him. here he is seen to me more as an “artist” more than a “web celeb” of course a css artist, which to be honest is how i had him tagged before watching, Sorry Andy!…no offense intended and it’s not that being a celeb means your not good at what you do, or in his case very good at what you do! Although Andy speaks of not being very good at the balance, it’s great to be able to be completely absorbed by what you do to the point that passion becomes an obsession because it’s only then that you are able to rise above the norm and become exceptional at what you do!

    Great interveiw I have enjoyed some of the others but this one for me was far more revealing :)

    Best one yet.

    Out of all of your recent interviewees, Andy seems like the only one I could sit and have a beer and a talk with. He’s a comic geek, like me and his experiences just seem so interesting.

    Very few people can hold my attention for more than 15 minutes when they just talk about stuff they’ve seen and done but Andy is one of them.

    More of this please!
