Me my wife lori and son andre andyvisuals.com is the culmination of 2+ years of learning and creating by me, Andrew Zook - amateur artist dwelling in Akron, Pa. I've thoroughly enjoyed learning the basics of web design, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. I hope you're enjoying the resulting exhibit.

couple dancing impressionist painting After regrettably excelling at English in college, but painfully failing in the teaching-English-vocation, I realized I was made for something else. An art gene was lurking within me that for various silly reasons I had inhibited. A passion for art was awakened and andyvisuals.com is only one more milestone reached.

I consider things like God's natural art or america's empire shenanigans as artistic incitement. Other influences include Salvador Dali, impressionism, film noir, the Wyeths, Dorothea Lange, romanticism, graphic novels and fantasy art. foot on football by nina matthews photography at flickrOther right-brain ecstacies like classical, folk, hymn, and techno/ambient music are rewarding immersions. Reading books and blogs have provoked numerous projects. Watching the "beautiful game"-futball gives me a break from art and paying the bills. Cuddling with my wife, playing with my son Andre, biking, or playing roller hockey provide diversion as well.
