About

Hey there! I’m Justin.

I’ll be honest with you I am not very good at writing about myself but you wouldn’t be on this page if you didn’t want to know more about me, so I’ll give it the good old college try.

I am a visual artist based in Edmonton, Alberta, who’s trying to spread a little joy one illustration at a time.

I own and operate Justin Erickson Art and over the past ten years I’ve honed my skills to specialize in quirky illustrations, textile pattern design, packaging design, art for books, cover art, album art, logo design, and scientific illustrations (typically of flora, birds, and bugs.)

Reach out, let’s discuss how I can help your ideas soar.
