About

Hey! I'm Erich! I'm a cartoonist who has been creating visual stories for more years than I care to share. My first graphic novel series, Mail Order Ninja, which I co-created and illustrated, was published in 2005-2006 by Tokyopop. Since then, I have been creating visual stories for companies like Viper Comics, IDW, Andrews McMeel, CBS, Simon & Shuster, DC Comics, and Epic!. Oh, and one time I ate lunch with Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, to discuss his comic book project, TekWar Chronicles, which I illustrated. For the last 15 years I have been creating comic book stories for children with Beast Academy, DC Comics and Epic!. I'm currently shifting my focus away from comic books to children's books & graphic novels.

Recently, I moved across the USA from San Diego, CA to North Georgia with my wife, two daughters (of six children), and six cats(!).

When I'm not creating artwork and stories, I'm creating memories with my family, my parents, and those darn cats. I also enjoy driving and working on my Corvette Stingray, going to baseball games, watching baseball/basketball/football games, watching James Bond/Star Trek/Star Wars/Dr. Who, and playing video games when I get a chance.
