OFFICE TOUR 2010_update

Let's explore and invade Eric's personal space by taking a tour of his office. Hehe. I'm kidding of course. This photo was taken for a French magazine who interviewed Eric and wrote a little article about his work, his daily schedule and environment and blah, blah, blah. They asked him to take a small photo of his work space and because he's an over achiever, Ece took multiple pictures.

BTW, you're on your own in trying to find the printed article. I provide links, NOT magazines, dammit. This isn't even my blog. Anyway, here's the photo and what he wrote for the collaged photograph.


---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. "Project" board - Actually, it's more like, "Hey, remember to finish this sh*t, stupid!" board. Anything I need to work on or currently working on, I put up on this board. I write down story ideas,  I post animation and comic book scripts, possible 90 minute images I might try, Italian lessons flash cards, etc.
2. Badge collection from the conventions I've attended this year.
3. Chocolate flavored Cheerios. AKA - Sugar.
4. Large format scanner/printer/scanner. Essential for scanning artwork.
5. Mighty Mugg collection. I broke my Doc Ock last year and desperately need a new one. Silly toys.
6. "Inspiration" board - The upper left hand corner has a picture of a friend's daughter. Beautiful baby.
7. Random iTunes card. It was a gift I think? I don't know why it's there. Maybe because I buy SO much iTunes content that they should sponsor me.
8. An original Dream and Death illustration by one of my favorite artists, Ming Doyle. Visit her site - http://www.mingdoyle.com/.
9. A gift  from my friend Mindy Lee. She makes things look effortless when she draws and paints. I'm constantly inspired and humbled when I visit her blog - http://mindydoodles.blogspot.com/.
10. Paint brushes and painting materials.
11. Watercolor palettes
12. "Darna" comic book. I got this as a gift from my cousin's husband on a recent trip to the Philippines.
13. Various markers and a Spiderman Mighty Mugg. Again, silly toys.
14. An original page from Avengers: LUKE CAGE #2
15. Monitor so I can look up garbage on the internet.
16. Macross Plus figures. My favorite anime growing up.
17. Webcam, so I can talk to people from the outside world.
18.  Drawing table with latest painting prelim.
19. OTTLights. Favorite way to light my work area. It feels like daytime when I have them on.
20. New pens. I buy foreign art supplies in hopes of finding the magical NEW tool that'll make me draw better. No such luck and my collection continues to grow. I can't bear to throw them away.
21. ARCHES Watercolor Paper, sketchbooks I still need to draw in for different people, and pending commissions I must finish by the summer.
22. Television, so I can have background noise while I work.
23. "Keep This" board. I post up anything of note that I want to hold on to that doesn't fit on the other two boards. The upper left hand corner has a mock-up of a children's book my friend Julia Liu is working on. She's a very talented illustrator. http://julia-liu.com/
24. Olga Kurylenko
25. Iron Man commemorative stamp set - a gift from a friend.
26. A small painting from a former studio-mate, Norm Ryang. He's a brilliant designer. http://normart.blogspot.com/
27. Jordiana Brewster.
28. A print by illustrator/concept artist Kei Acedera.
29. Fiona Apple.
30. More Fiona Apple.
31. Album cover and lyrics to Jay-Z's new album, "The Blueprint III".
32. Cintiq.
33. Hot Toys' Iron Man Mark 3 replica.
34. My personal filing system, AKA trash can.

So there you have it! And I guess it's not really intruding on his personal space since he's more than willing to give the information to the French. I mean, the least I can do is let you guys see it too, right? Now, let's go take a look at his VHS porn collection. Seriously. VHS. Old school.
