Rare creations from my corner of Unreality

I make things that bring people together for shared experiences – tabletop games, art books, creativity tools, and more. The work on this site is entirely my own.

My name’s Eric

Ok, just so you know upfront: I’ve never been called the life-of-the-party or voted most-likely-to-succeed. I’m not award-winning, carb-conscious, or charismatic.

What I am is determined to make my ideas happen. And that makes me dangerous. In a friendly sorta way.

You see, building a world of fiction using just eight basic shapes is hard. Spending years to design, test, and release tabletop games people want to play is hard. And creating a coloring book delivered in a pizza box, without knowing if anyone will love it is not just hard, it’s a risk.

Here’s the point: Artists don’t have it easy. Never have. We try and we fail. So we start over. And over. We try again and succeed. Then some new tech comes along and squashes our progress (again). We get grumpy, trash our ideas, have our pity-parties. And at some point we get up, again. We ignore our negative self-talk and online haters. We keep growing. The cycle never ends.

My name’s Eric. I get ideas done for myself and clients. It’s hard work, but that’s what I do. Nice to meet you.

Unplug. Connect. Create.

Those three words are magic. Because each idea supports the next. When we unplug, we’re less alone and free to find a new friend. Connecting leads to opportunities to create things together. And being creative inspires us and makes us want to unplug more.

If you’re looking for custom illustration informed by design principles, send me a message. Perhaps we can work together, collaborate, or chat over coffee. I’ve worked for over two decades helping others communicate their ideas and messages visually.

Thank you for your interest.
