He also did some graphic arts for the new issues of Spanish comic Kee Kee Koki created by Dave Alvarez and also developed new characters.

When he was a teenager, one of his songs got played in Dr. Demento's show. He even got to perform live with Conehead Buddha.

He can be seen in the SpongeBob music video "Ridin the Hook" as the nerdy man in a Spongebob suit. This is because he is good friends with Tom Kenny; the man who voiced Spongebob. And he drew a (rejected) cover for the Best Day Ever album as well as working on the second movie.

At age 8, he was a winner at the "Young Playwright's Project" at a local Albany museum. His concept, Cartoon City, featured several characters that he would later use for his pitches such as Superkat (his first creation since he was 3 years old, later used for Caffeine & Johnny) and Haarco and Fuzzball (supposed antagonists for a concept "Hatz & Pug") as well as including a blatant Tom and Jerry ripoff before The Simpsons' Itchy and Scratchy existed entitled "Itchy and Ritchie".

Originally planned to do a flash MooBeard cartoon with fellow DA artist, Andrew Dickman, a friend of his, Jill Friemark, who was working on My Life as a Teenage Robot at the time, suggested to pitch the idea to Frederator's Random! Cartoons (back when it was originally going to be the 4th season of Oh Yeah! Cartoons). Andy later pitched and got the green-light for his short, Ivan the Unbearable.

He despises his work being compared to Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi due to him criticizing his art on his blog in 2007 instructing his peers on what not to do in terms of appealing art. He retaliated this by making a mock of him in his Frog Raccoon Strawberry comic. He claims that it was his partner, John Berry's idea and had no regrets on doing it.

Skilled voice actor from doing impressions in his own songs and doing game voices & game demo voices for CD Roms while in Funnybone to actually scouting for voice work briefly in 2006 and doing voices in his own show. He actually considered pursing voice acting if the challenge wasn't so competing.

Most of his pitches were up on deviantArt before he removed almost every one of his art and journal posts.

Wanted to be a radio DJ growing up but decided to be a cartoonist when he got older.

He can move his hand in different ways.

He pitched "Frog Raccoon Strawberry" to Nickelodeon and Frederator but it's demographic wasn't what they were looking for, so he changed the concept to focus on a human girl named "January O'Kaye". They passed on the idea but January became a prominent character of the comic ever since.

He became more comfortable using digital drawing (e.g. cintiq) than traditional despite being a man who normally drew by hand and colored on the computer.
