Life

Drew was born in 1961 in Tallahassee, Florida. He spent his childhood in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where the windows of his apartment overlooked the city's heaps of trash and dump. Drew's work was first publicly exhibited at the age of 13, and two years later he was being scouted by DC Comics and Marvel as an illustrator.

Drew studied at the Parsons School of Design in New York in 1981 and 1982. He received his BFA from The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York in 1985.
