Making Ideas Happen. For You and Me.

I’m an independent illustration and design partner. In addition to client work, I create studio-led products and publish them each year in limited quantities.

Ok Eric, I have questions

  • Yes. I make ideas happen for clients and when I’m not busy on their projects, I make my own ideas happen too. It’s the best of both worlds.

  • I do. And I’ve been doing it since 2007. I spent a long time looking for someone to say “Yes” to publishing my work. Rather than wait around, I decided to publish my own creations in limited quantities.

  • I’ve exhibited at large regional events such as Phoenix Fan Fusion, Tucson Comic Con, Tempe FanCon, and Phoenix Design Week for years. Lately I’m more and more focused on popup shop events and smaller venues.

  • While I enjoy dark humor, otherworldly stories, and esoteric vibes, I steer clear of divisive social and political topics. Even though some things I make are for older audiences, they never feature gory violence or demeaning imagery.

    So, if you like: Nintendo games, tabletop games, Hayao Miyazaki movies, Godzilla films (all eras), The Dark Crystal, Jim Henson’s Muppets, cozy chibi characters, The Neverending Story, and things like these, give my shop a look!

  • I’m creating a two-player card game called Bugruckus, set to release on Kickstarter early in 2027. You can sign up for a launch-day notification here.

  • I used to think social media was the way to share this, but not so much now. I share my process through virtual / in-person presentations, speaking engagements, and workshops. It’s much more meaningful this way because I’m able to personally provide context and answer questions.
