Andy Menconi is a graphic designer and animator who has been creating viral content since 2000. While working as a web designer for Bank of America he won 'Bush in 30 Years': a flash animation contest sponsored by MoveOn.org which opened the door to being the graphics guy for many leftist political organizations. He went on to form Agit-Pop Communications, an award winning viral media firm with partners John Sellers of the Ruckus Society and Andrew Boyd of Billionaires for Bush. On tax day in 2010, Agit-Pop communications began a new project called 'The Other 98%' as a meme to help shift the dialogue of the culture war to one of economic justice. Andy Menconi was born in Texas, graduated from AAC in San Francisco, loves punk rock, the NFL, green chile and romantic dinners on the beach.
