Andy the Dandy art

Andy the Dandy, a self-proclaimed art phenomenon, is just that. His name, tag and of course the cute blue face are everywhere.
Creator Hans Breuker, from Amstelveen, is a bit thin.

The story of Andy the Dandy is so meta that it's brilliantly strange. Created by Dinsey studios to give a raw figure in response to the popularity of Garfield and the Looney Tunes.

He is opposite Mickey in the movie: Mickey in the Big City. Where he tries to cash in on Mickey's fame while being chased by his shysters. Of course it's just fiction... But fiction is never far from 'reality'. Andy would get into all kinds of trouble with tagging and partying.

When he was fired, Andy did exactly the same thing as the character portrayed in MMITC. Things got out of hand in the 1990s. He was sentenced to prison in 2005 for smuggling marijuana and growing it by the busload. He does a lot of throwbacks in his Instagram stories and posts. All fictional of course. But very entertaining. The sarcasm, self-mockery and hip-hop references are ubiquitous and still respond to today's hypes and trends.

While I do time. He discovered art as an escape. When he got out. Instagram was there. He had to make ammunition quickly.

While in the middle of this madness, Andy makes art and takes selfies. You never know if the influencer deals are real or not. Hans Breuker plays with reality and fiction. And people and brands love it.

Hans Breuker once said. Andy does what I couldn't.
