Andy Hope 1930

Andy Hope 1930 (born Andreas Hofer) is a German artist.

Since 1998, most of his work has been signed "Andy Hope 1930" (although at that time the artist was still named Andreas Hofer).[1]

Hope's subject matter encompasses superheroes, dinosaurs, devils, spaceships and historical villains.[2][3][4] He sometimes paints over the top of already painted canvases, sometimes allowing parts of the earlier picture to remain visible.[1]
