Eric
Eric attended the Honors College at Arizona State University. After receiving a BA in Theater, he and his wife Laura set off for New York City. There, Eric earned a degree in illustration from Pratt Institute and Laura decided to pursue a career in medicine. Soon after, Pattern stole Eric away from his freelance jobs with nationally distributed magazines such as Culture and Alaska Magazine. At Pattern, he excels at converting ugly, confusing PowerPoint diagrams into communicative works of art and expertly illustrates almost anything our clients can dream up.
Eric’s independent illustrations, and information on how to hire him for illustration work, can be found at his website, www.ericpiatkowski.com.
little known fact: Eric bikes to work almost every day in the summer.

As an Illustrator and Designer (but mostly schooled as an Illustrator) I want to think of punctuation as dots and squiggles, but I need to know the rules and intricacies.
