Hi, my name is Erich. I am a writer. I live in New York. I graduated from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, in Dallas, Texas. I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout from Troop 42. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons School of Design, at The New School. I am now a writers studio member at the Center for Fiction.
I was previously an artist on the Google Doodles team in California (2017–’24). I was an art-director on the Op-Ed desk at The New York Times before that, during Barack Obama’s first and second terms.
My writing has been published in: FAQNP, Matter, Metropolis, Nest, Red Line Blues, Rhizome, and Salon. Art honors include: Best American Infographics (2013); Silver medal, Society of Illustrators (2014); Gold medal, Society of Publication Designers (2016); soloist, Oakland Gay Men’s Chorus (2017–’19), and I was a judge for the World Illustration Awards (2020).
I am also the reigning Mr. ConTEAnental.
