I came across Eric’s work while on an Instagram scroll. Oddly enough, I’d just gotten a message from a girl wondering how to get into the surf/skate industry of design (something I’d worked on doing about 10 years back), and on this Instagram post, it was announced that Eric would be giving a graphic design on skateboards class. After sending her the link, I thought – I bet she and I aren’t the only ones who are mesmerized by this industry and knew I had to chat with Eric more in-depth.
Eric has tons of knowledge from working on different continents and doing everything from drawing on skateboards to completing huge murals, by himself and with a team.
