Today's a wonderful day because I get to wish Happy Birthday to my beautiful and amazing wife, Lisa! She does so much for our family that I don't even know where to start. Every day that I get to see your smile is a gift. I wish you every bit of happiness and love today on your special day!!!!
Love how the clouds are in a straight line from the peak! #crestedbutte
Did anyone else pick up their turkey on a motorcycle today? 😂 wonderful ride this morning with @lisadoggett !
17 years today with this beautiful lady! Thank you @lisadoggett for showing me what a wonderful life together can be like - here’s to 17 more years filled with love, laughter, and lots of motorcycle rides! I love you!
There’s no turning back now. #mickeysnotsoscaryhalloweenparty #disneyworld #wdw

Testing out ideas for different techniques, so I made this quick 8x10 tiki painting based on a photo of a tiki glass I found somewhere on the internets. 🍹🍹
Just wrapped up a brand new painting that's one of my new favorites! This one is called "A Bottle of Red" and is based on the lyrics of the Billy Joel song "Scenes From An Italian Restaurant". This song has been a favorite of mine, and it seemed like the perfect story to tell through a painting. On the right you have the main couple Billy talks about who are enjoying some wine and reminiscing. On the left you have Brenda and Eddie, who have struggled through the years and ultimately divorced. He doesn't quite say that they are together or not, but listening to the lyrics and how they 'always find a way to get by', I like to think they are. If you'd like to see it in more detail, prints and canvases are available at www.fineartbyeric.com (link in profile). And hey! Maybe consider tagging @billyjoel , @cftrumpet , or @billyjoelbandmembermikedel in a comment below? I'd love it if they could see it too! Thank you! Special thanks to @mcbiffart who turned me onto some great brushes to use on this painting.
It’s time for the annual Christmas card contest! Every year I have a fan-favorite contest to pick the best card from the prior season’s work. This year there are 9 finalists. The winning family gets a 20”x30” canvas of their image plus the amazing Refrigerator Trophy! Check out the contestants and vote for your favorite at austinchristmascards.com (link in profile).
It’s so much fun when you work with a client for the first time and they come totally prepared! Dr. Skye Clarke asked me to come and photograph everyone from her office for their Christmas card, and they came up with this hilarious other-world theme. And the costumes! So cool. This was definitely one of my favorites for 2018, and I hope to work with them again soon. . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram
Of course we can't talk about Christmas cards without mentioning our card from 2009! This is really the image that kicked off the whole Christmas card thing. I photographed the background at The Austin Diner, and then took individual photos of us in the garage. I think the inspiration for my pose was Mel from that old diner show, Alice. :) . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #diner #1950 #1950s #austindiner
Git 'er done! :) Had a blast on this Christmas card shoot. When I was a kid, an Airstream trailer was the coolest thing around! This family buys and refurbishes these trailers here in Austin. I love the silver, reflective exterior - it always looks amazing when I light and photograph metal like this! . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #airstream #homeiswhereyouparkit #camper #airstreamlife
I've had the pleasure of working with local-legend Santa Phil a few times. Here is in the studio relaxing while I get the lights ready. I asked him to come by to pose for some painting ideas I wanted to try. In this shot he's checking his holiday schedule for the remainder of the year (which was insane - he showed it to me!) . . . . . #austin #atx #austintexas #christmas #christmascards #art #holidays #santa #merrychristmas #dallas #houston #houstontx #dallastx #okc #locallove #atxlove #christmas #christmas2018 #ilovechristmas #christmasaddict #christmastree #christmasdecorations #winterwonderland #christmascard #artistsoninstagram #santaclaus #santaclausiscomingtotown #santaclause
