Great interview; however, the audio getting cut off has left me in a great suspense!
Dear Listeners: We've been having problems with our audio player, but it seems to be fixed as of 10.10.10. Thank you for your patience.
Great interview. Really love hearing about your thoughts and process on brand identity.
I LOVE your interview Eric. As a child, I always wanted to be a beatnik too!!! I think we've realized our goal!
Eric, Great to hear your thoughts and your voice. It's been a long time. Well spoken, and Ken is right, you ARE a prince! And a designer's designer.
I love this. I've had both professors at SVA, they are both so professional.
Eric has this teeny bit of crassness that i remember from 5 years ago and that's what made him so memorable!
Changing lives.
