HEY I’M ERICK
I’M AN ART DIRECTOR
I MAKE THINGS I MAKE STUFF I MAKE MORE THINGS I MAKE MORE STUFF
Some personal facts and opinions that are basically real facts, in my opinion:
"What is your favorite movie?" is an impossible question.
Chili's is perhaps the most underrated restaurant.
I didn't own a pair of jeans for 10 years.
Cheese is a very important food group.
Go Dawgs!
