What has evolved is undoubtedly a style distinctly his own. Erik is a prolific artist who is sought after and commissioned for his designs. When Erik went public with his most recent work, he quickly received international attention for his multimedia creations.

I went to design school with Erik. I’ve always been a fan of his illustration style. I’ve got a piece that he did framed and hanging in my home.
