hi - I'm drew.
I do all my own stunts: digital illustration, motion graphics and video editing, all to enhance a growing collection of music I produce under the alias cartridj. I have ample experience in many technological disciplines, and I use my breadth of skills to solve an equal breadth of creative problems.
