About Me:
I am a 25 year old aspiring artist who is currently in living Crookston, Minnesota. My Hometown is Michigan, North Dakota.

I was born in 1986, when I was born I was Diagnosed as having Mild Retardation. And then later on in life I was Diagnosed with having the Rare Disease Called Kearns Sayre Syndrome.

Here's About My Rare Disease Called Kearns Sayre Syndrome or (KSS) For Short.
HI IM ANDREW THE ARTIST AND I HAVE THE DISEASES OR SYNDROME CALLED KSS AND IT CAN BE DEADLY!ONLY 227 WORLD WIDE HAVE IT!

About My Artistic Abilities:
I first discovered my artistic abilities when I was in the 6th Grade back in 1998. That was the year that I found out my talent was an art. I first started out Drawing different types of cartoons. Then four years after that I started learning how to Draw life like portraits of people. I was one out of nine people in my art class that made it to art 4 and only the very best got into that Class in the High School I attended. Each year I keep getting better and better as time goes on an art.

I Graduated from Red River High School back in North Dakota back in 2006.

I was going to attend Pittsburgh's Art Institute Online after getting accepted there back in 2006 and an order to attend there Art College I had to give them 12 of my best art pieces. They judged my art work before they found out I had any learning disabilities. When they found out that I had learning disabilities they were shocked at what I could do. They told my father and I that I was the best they've seen in years there. But the state of North Dakota wouldn't give me the money to go because they thought I wouldn't make it.

About What I Do In My Spare Time:
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my father. We do many things together and share a special father son relationship. He is my best friend in the whole world.

Also in my spare time:
I make Photo-shop Images for a few of my Flickr friends here at Flickr that have giving me the permission to use some of there photo's in my photo-shop art works that I do for them and only them here at Flickr. My photo-shop art works are mostly only viewable by Friends and Family.

I have been on Flickr since November 2nd, 2006.

    "Andrew is what I call a TRUE friend, Here's a man with a caring compassionate heart for others even worse off than him, I've known Andrew a Great Artist since he opened his Flickr account introduced by another friend Aimee, When everything started going down hill for me Andrew knew just how to lift my spirit again from a simple conversation, This genius minded man is very elite at what he does.

    "Andrew is my twin brother. Its shocking how much we look a like when mike is all we share. He reminds me in looks and personality of me its almost like a male version of me. He’s pretty cool and truthfully I think they broke our mold once they were done making Andrew it couldn’t handle more then two of us. For his benefit they added his extreme talent of drawing. I've seen his work on paper and truthfully I’m a bit jealous!"

    "This is the first testimonial I've written for anyone. I had to for Andrew. He is by far one of my best flickr friends. He always gives positive reviews on all my work. He even makes nice comments about me as a person and my parenting which I really appreciate. On top of all that, he's an incredible artist, both as a photoshop artist and as a sketch artist. He has taken one of the photos of my girls and created 2 seperate masterpieces with it. In general, he's such a great person all around and a great friend. Thanks for everything, Andrew. God bless you."

Andrew uses his gifts to enhance his as well as our lives. I say "Go Andrew!" I wanna see more! :^) Andrew is connecting with so many people on a level that we miss in our day to day lives.
    There are many days in my life that are brightened by Flickr, Andrew the Artist and everyone he/we/I connect with."

    "What can I say about this great guy! I first met him on flickr many months ago, he was one of my first contacts and has become a great friend since. We may live on other sides of the world but Drew's artistic flair and skill with photoshop imaging and drawings can be appreciated from anywhere!

    Thanks Andrew for always visiting my photostream and leaving such kind comments, and thank you for flattering our family with your artwork - along with many others.

    Andrew the Photoshop Artist has a great affect on the flickr community, made obvious by the fantastic array of testimonials, and it is all well deserved. A great artist, in the true sense, shares all with the people around him, and that is exactly what Andrew does!

    "Andrew is a great artist and if you took the time to look through his entire photostream you would have a smile on your face before you were finished viewing!! He has since found a new hobby in photoshop and is rapidly becoming one of the best and already my personal favorite!! He is one of the most honest,sweetest,and unselfish people I have meet on flickr!! Andrew is a breath of fresh air!! I never thought I could make an actual friend on flickr. I knew I could mark people as friends and they would remian "FLICKR FRIENDS" but with Andrews great personality I have found a true friend in him!! He is the one person I really want to meet some day!! He has many hurdles and crossroads in his own life,yet he still manages to give of himself every day!! You can only know what I am saying if you too get to know him (BUT NOT TOO MANY,OR HE WONT HAVE AS MUCH TIME FOR ME!!LOL!!) I value his opinion,I love his work,and I have grown to truely care about his own well being!! And he has made so many wonderful images for myself and other flickr moms!! He makes us all smile!!

    Andrew's artwork is beautiful, having lots of experience with photoshop. He can do almost anything to any photo, while retaining its beauty.
    Keep up the good work, because you can only get better!"

    "How do you describe Andrew? One glance at his stream shows you that he's a very talented artist. His photoshop work shows his great perception of the personalities of the people in the pictures. His drawings are equally exceptional. When you get beyond the work, you learn that Andrew is a very warm, caring, and genuine person who loves life. He is very giving with his time and talents. I'm very proud to have Andrew as a friend."
