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>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190622212036/https://adhorowi.bandcamp.com/album/sketches sketches on bandcamp 2019.
