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
It’s a “ride to studio” day! First stop, the great folks at @cowboyhdaustin . I need to get my 1k service and some other work done. Luckily I brought some work with me! It will be tough not to walk to the showroom to check out the ‘19 models 😂🏍 . . . . . #harleydavidson #harley #streetglide #harleysofinstagram #motorcycle #austin #atx #austinartist #austinartists #fineart #findyourfreedom #austintexas
Had the opportunity recently to meet a Disney legend, Don "Ducky" Williams! He's a great example of persistence. He drew 100 pictures a week for years trying to get good enough to be hired by Disney. He started working as a custodian during the night hours, and eventually found his way to various illustration jobs with the company. Today he's the senior character illustrator for Disney's marketing and attractions, where he creates artwork for brochures, mailers, special events, and more! .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #art #color #fineart #artoftheday #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artsy #artwork #artistic #artphotography #artistsofinstagram #disneyart #disneyartist #wdw #disneylife #disneymagic #instadisney #disney
Just wrapped up a new painting! It's called "Hi Fidelity Dog", and is a tribute to that amazing cassette tape ad from the 1980s. You know the one - glasses falling over, a lamp tipping, and hair flying back. For this version, I went with animals flying :) It was a ton of fun to create this image, and I used Liquitex Acrylic Gouache on Fabriano cold press paper. Prints, canvases, and the framed original are available now! Just head on over to www.fineartbyeric.com (link in profile) and check out a short video of me finishing the painting. Do you know someone that loves pets and the 1980s? Tag them below - they may get a kick out of this image! 💥😂 .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #fineart #artoftheday #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artsy #artwork #artistic #austin #atx #austintexas #austinart #austinartist #austinartists #dogstagram #petsofinstagram #gooddog #catstagram #cats_of_instagram #catsofinstagram #catsofinsta #catscatscats #instacat #instadog #1980s #80s #80sclassic #oldschool #love80s #sound #recording
Very happy to have spent a few days with @lisadoggett checking out the Festival of the Arts! It was a great trip filled with lots of inspiration, and some great drinks at Trader Sam’s! 😉 . . . . . #art #color #fineart #artoftheday #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artsy #artwork #artistic #artistsofinstagram #austin #atx #austintexas #austinart #colorful #austinartist #artoftheday #disneyart #disneyartist #wdw #disneylife #disneymagic #instadisney #disney
Making good progress on “Hi Fidelity Dog”. The painting on the wall will be a miniature version of the Bento image I posted earlier! .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #wip #fineart #artoftheday #instaart #artistsoninstagram #artsy #artwork #artistic #austin #atx #austintexas #austinart #colorful #austinartist #austinartists #dogstagram #petsofinstagram #gooddog #catstagram #cats_of_instagram #catsofinstagram #catsofinsta #catscatscats #instacat #instadog #1980s #80s #80sclassic #oldschool #love80s
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
