Biography edit · view history
Though he released a few freeware titles through PC-SIG in the mid-80's, Eric did not turn pro until he graduated from high school in the summer of 1990. Since then, he has specialized in not being specialized, a true "Jak" of all-trades digital artist with a passion for pushing the boundaries of real-time computer graphics.
In 1996, Eric joined Naughty Dog. For the next 12 years, he made significant artistic and technical contributions to the worldwide success of the Sony-exclusive Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter, and Uncharted video game franchises. He played a key role in shaping their art production pipelines for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3.
In 2009, Eric re-teamed with Naughty Dog's former art director Bob Rafei at Big Red Button Entertainment.
