Development Build 87
I made a game but it has not been thoroughly play-tested. I am throwing it out to the world in hopes you will play-test it enough and make it the grown up to be the big boy game I know it can be. I’m scared, as any parent would be, of watching their child wander…
Human Fears over AI Gains
There is a prevailing sentiment lately online that, “AI is going to take our jobs”. I have heard and seen this on LinkedIn (which is why I am posting here, as well as on LinkedIn) and various social channels like Reddit and Instagram. Midjourney, the visual AI, has already produced an incredible amount of art,…
Seed of Sam, a Lowbrow Misadventure
In 2021 I self-published a graphic novel “Seed of Sam” that I have been working on for over four years. It had been a ridiculous story I wanted to tell for a while but I just didn’t get serious about it as a comic until 2017. The book synopsis is as follows: “SEED OF SAM…
Heart of Korrem Playtesting
Reigniting an Adventure I normally work on comics and individual commissions, but it has always been a dream of mine to create a fantasy adventure game. I was initially inspired by Magic the Gathering in middle school, and later Warcraft, Legend of Zelda, and Dungeons and Dragons in Highschool. I’m an avid “game watcher” and…
Blackout Island
🎲 What is Blackout Island? Some years ago (2013 to be exact) I made a Survivor-inspired drinking boardgame called Blackout Island. My initial goal was to combine fun drinking games like Waterfall, Categories, and Kings into Survivor, to create an elimination style boardgame for parties. Back then I was still idealistic and niave about the…
New Car, New World
In America, what car you drive says a lot about you. Our current car, a 2015 Ford Fiesta, was the first new car I ever bought and was a reasonable expense. At the time, Dana and I wanted a brand new car that wouldn’t need any extra bells or whistles, and would reliably deliver me…
“Reign” Fantasy Game
Over the past several months I have been working on a hobby gaming project, based on my love for fantasy adventure. As a kid, I drew a set of over 200 characters for an imaginary land (including detailed cultures, hierarchies, and backstories for them) but after high school, I didn’t go any farther with it.…
Ann Arbor to Austin
The sun had yet to rise over Waco, Texas. It was 6am and the last day of driving before Dana and I reached our new home in Austin, Texas. We had been driving for three days that felt like three weeks; through the snow, rain, traffic, construction, and heat of seven states. I shuffled through…
Summer Update – SDCC 2019
I haven’t posted a blog in a while, just because I have been incredibly busy! This past Spring I was working on removing things from my creative To-Do list, and as summer approached new opportunities and projects sprang up in their place. Here’s a brief rundown of recent and future projects; San Diego Comic Con…
Career in Art
I had a message recently that went something like this: “Hey Erik, I am a big fan of your Survivor comics and YouTube videos (Outsider Interviews) and I wanted to know if you could do a video on having a successful art career. As someone who works in a creative field, I’ve had a lot…
