Andrew Diemer crash landed in Earth in 1994. While his home planet and age are unknown, one thing is for certain, he came to planet Earth on a mission to become an International Graphic Design professional. Pursuing a BFA in Graphic Design at Pratt Institute, Andrew enjoys skateboarding, listening to music, and drawing. He enjoys working with video, performance, and environmental design, but has a fondness for books, typography, and lettering. Lately his work examines themes of death, space/time travel, childhood, and identity. He likes his work to be subversive, humorous, and unconventional. His goals for the future include becoming an ADC Young Gun, designing skateboard graphics, and post-grad at Type@Cooper.
