His first set of demos was initially released on cassette tape so as to not have it be circulated in a disposable format; the first batch was mailed out in March 2012. On December 17th 2012, Andrew decided to make the whole album available digitally through his Bandcamp page, however, as of 2019, the original version of Sketches is 'Sold Out' and no longer available for purchase.<ref>[ | His first set of demos was initially released on cassette tape so as to not have it be circulated in a disposable format; the first batch was mailed out in March 2012.

Not much came about after the release of sketches, other than a single interview edu did, confirming that a second album was (kind of) a work in progress.

In 2019, edu announced a re-release for his debut album, on both vinyl and streaming services. The project was funded through the crowd-funding website Kickstarter, similarly to how [[Joe Hawley Joe Hawley]] was financed. The album has been changed slightly, with what edu describes as a removal of "some of the junk that was clogging it up," and saying that "a lot of sonic problems were addressed".<ref>[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sketches/edu-sketches-3d-on-vinyl-and-digital/ Edu. 'Sketches 3d on vinyl and digital'. Kickstarter Page. Accessed December 21st 2023.]</ref> This increase in quality is presumably a result of Andrew's music producing career in between the two releases. | |||
