Erick Arc Elliott's Artwork and Books

Coinciding with his name, the Erick the Architect is a prolific artist on a number of levels. Most recently, Elliott has demonstrated that he is indeed a serious conventional artist and has created numerous paintings and other artistic designs that the fans are quickly taking note of. On the surface, it appears that Elliott ties his artwork into his music in some fashion that allows both skills to coexist fluidly and favorably in a way that very few artists have been able to do successfully.

Much of Elliott's art is created and is directly affiliated and attached to 502 North Pole (www.502northpole.com).
