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…
“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.…
Overactive Imagination
As a creative person I really enjoy making things. If you really know me you’ll realize how quickly I get absorbed into whatever project I’m currently focused on. I just keep building and building onto the initial idea until I’ve made this whole complex and intricate world of its own. When I was little I…
New York Comic Con!
Next week I will be attending the New York Comic Con in Manhattan and I couldn’t be more excited! This is my first big Comic Con where I will be exhibiting in the Artist Alley and the second “huge” convention I’ve ever attended. I feel extremely fortunate to have this opportunity to show my stuff.…
Making Comics
For the past couple weeks I have been trying to figure out what I need to be doing to get into making comics and working as a freelance artist. After visiting Wondercon in Anaheim and talking with a bunch of other artists and writers I soon figured out the solution to my problem; keep making…
The Artistic Process
As an artist I think it would make sense to have an artist’s statement about the kind of process I go through when making comics or paintings or illustrations. I haven’t really thought about why I create, mostly because I’m just too busy creating. I have about 15 – 20 projects going in my mind…
Help Erik, and Get a Free Comicbook!
I am looking for people to help out with the story line of The Town of Tymes. I get a lot of critiques on the artwork, but not so much on the actual story. Here is your chance to help out, get a free autographed copy of Book 1 and see your name printed in…
Across an Old Map
Today I was packing some things up for the big move to California. I was looking through some old boxes of high school artwork, college transcript stuff, and Survivor souvenirs (no immunity necklaces I’m afraid). I came across an old map I had kept from a National Geographic. It showed the elevation of the ocean…
Zombies Don’t Eat Brains!
Zombies. Brains. These two things are seemingly synonymous with each other because everyone knows that Zombies eat brains. I realized today that this is completely false! The idea that Zombies want Brains is infuriating and ridiculous… almost as ridiculous as the idea that Zombies can write blog posts. Zombies by whatever rulebook or biology text…
July 2012 Update
“Blog” is such an ugly word. It sounds like something gross you’d pull out of your clogged drainpipe or something. I’ve been away from WordPress for a while but I decided to come back and start “blogging” again. It helps to write things out and hopefully hear a few opinions and commentary on what I’ve…
