My name is Andre Powell, and I am a Afro-Caribbean native living in the USA. I am a 24 yr old Freelance Artist, and a recent graduate of The College Of Westchester (CW). Art has always been a passion of mine. I guess it all started when I was 11 yrs old while coming across a comic store, and browsing through a variety of Stan lee comics. I stood their amazed and drawn in to what I was seeing, it was like this was what I was born to do. I knew right then, I would have to practice if I was ever to be as great as Stan. I started off by tracing other people work, and not long after taking interest in still life drawing to find out that drawing is based on observation. At age 14 my observational drawing process was improving gradually, now I could draw what seem to be portrait,but only if a person stood still.

I went to Truman High School at 14,but only took one Art class throughout my 4 year. The art teacher their was very impress by my artwork which was inspirational enough for me to continue doing what I was doing. After I graduated High School I really didn't know what I wanted to do since Art is a broad topic. One day while surfing the net for School that offer any form of major related to Art, The College Of Westchester popped up. CW has taught me all the basic skills required to put this site together which was Illustrator, Flash and dreamweaver.Below is a link to my website
