Along with his appeal for 80's & 90's cartoons, comics and grafﬁti culture, his ability to invoke his inner child naturally makes way for his compelling pastel colored characters.In this Eavesdrop episode, get some insight on Andrew Da Silva’s career and standpoint on projecting his art into the world.
