Esao Andrews is a Japanese American artist and freelance illustrator. Originally raised in Mesa, Arizona, he received his B.F.A. in 2000 from The School of Visual Arts in New York. With his haunted subject matter and often-times colorful palate, he has established a career both in the fine art and commercial world. He is best known for his Surreal album artwork for the band Circa Survive and has produced numerous comic book covers for Vertigo Comics and designs for Deathwish and Baker Skateboards early in his career.
Recently Esao has added mural work to his output and in 2019 had the opportunity to paint inside the Long Beach Convention Center which now houses a thirty-foot-tall butterfly mural in its lobby that extends down the corridor.
He currently spends time living and working in both Los Angeles, California and Hudson, New York with his wife Clare.
