"If the world was filled with spiders, darkness, and scary beings mirroring a nightmare...Justin would be living in a dream come true. Maybe its because the optimism he so handsomely sports needs to be balanced by the often times dark and chill-provoking images in his artwork. Or perhaps he is simply playing on the fears we all deal with as human beings and creatively turning them into something more beautiful to admire and contemplate. Justin is one of those people who you want to spend hours sitting next to as he sketches in his little black book, with his teeny tiny thin tip black pens, just to see how he does it. A perfect day for Justin would be situated somewhere in Europe, creating mysterious and thought-inducing works of art, while taking breaks in between to make music in his studio...with a Skinny Puppy DVD still lodged in the player from the night before, and a good meal digesting is his stomach, you would find Justin smiling.
At first glance this tattooed, pierced, killer- styled guy with dashingly good looks could make anyone intimidated. Somehow with Justin's open-minded, easy going nature this isn't the case. He's one of those people who just seems inviting in a very intriguing way. With him, you'll never hear things like, " Sorry, there is no way we can do that." or, " No, lets do it this way." His raw talent and unfathomable passion for the arts alongside his client-pleasing mentality leaves any project he is working on to surpass what his client will have expected. His adventurous attitude toward his work (whatever medium) compliments his growth in mass. You'll never see one project of his not up to par with the last...in fact, it's more than likely to be ten times better. It's fascinating to witness a genius as work...however, if said to Justin his reply would be something like, " Ah shhhhhh!, nonono." followed by a coy, "thank you." Humble in nature, inquisitive in soul, unique and often times spell-binding in talent Justin is one of those rare breeds; who are untarnished by their gifts and a compliment to this world.

"The art of Justin Erickson gives the viewer a glimpse into another reality, an industrial dream world where a beautiful decay is ever present, and nightmares lurk in the shadows.
