DeeDee Andrews worked for many years in Marketing and Graphic Design for a manufacturing company. She created catalogs and advertisements that made industrial widgets and gizmos look cool. Through marketing she was given the opportunity to travel the world. DeeDee found herself living in Brussels, Belgium at that important time in history when the Berlin Wall came down and the Gulf War began. There’s food for future blogs.

Fast forward and she found herself in the United States, now married with twin boys. After their twins had too much fun in first grade and didn’t learn anything, DeeDee and her husband decided to home-school. During that 7 year home-schooling period the “Domino Park Comics” were born. Drawing on a life time love of comic books and newspaper comic strips, and DeeDee’s Graphic Design background, she drew comic strips to encourage her kids to read. (Maybe she just told herself it was for the kids, but maybe it was because she just really needed a creative outlet.)

DeeDee received a Kindle as a Christmas gift in 2011, which gave her the idea to move her comic strips onto the public stage. She loaded her first book on Amazon in January 2013 with the second appearing in March 2013.

Her boys are graduating from high school in May 2013 and talking about moving away from home. Now it’s time to crank up the creative juices and really play. It’s time to go back to “Domino Park” for more fun and excitement.
