Like every one else who has seen Eric’s work, I was moved in one way or another. Me personally, I see a unique technique in the creations of his work. Not only was it unusual at the time but it has inspired millions of artists after him to break out of the box also. Alongside his persona, his work is odd and apart from the norm. He reaches his audience by shocking and awing. To do this he allows himself to create pieces unlike any other, but instead of his ideas being utterly awful, a lot of them tend to be aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, many choose to side with a pessimistic attitude and consider his artwork to be immature and childish. I for one enjoy his work for that reason alone due to his attempt to be one of its kind. Like Eric chose thumbtacks as a material, I too have ventured from using a common material to create these murals. When looking at his work I am even more inspired to dive into the concept of the multiple and hope that better ideas continue to arise.
