Eric is a native of Texas. He moved from San Antonio to Florida, where he attended Pensacola Junior College majoring in business. He later moved to Atlanta, Georgia to focus on television and video productions. He completed several certificate courses with People Television and Comcast Television certifying in television production, directing, and video camera/audio/light technique while in Georgia.
Although, Eric works in television production and photojournalism, his passion is SFX makeup and sculpting. Eric currently operates Focus Pointe Productions, which includes the Underground FX Lab and Productionrigs.com. This passion for FX started many years ago and became inspired by the SyFy channel’s Face Off. Like others before him, he is a self-taught FX Artist. He has spent hours in his garage making monsters. His creations are sought after in small local theaters to television and movie productions. He has been published in the Daily News, Santa Rosa County News, and the Pensacola News Journal (which went to the Associated Press).
Eric also has a small storefront where he sells SFX makeup and supplies at Marsha’s Menagerie in Pensacola, Florida. Along with this storefront, he hosts many SFX workshops, presents at SFX Conferences and provides classes for up and coming SFX artists in the fine art of zombie makings, blood, scars, masks, mold making, sculpting and more.
If you are into FX makeup be sure to stop by and see Eric at his booth and look for a chance to see him work his magic live at the convention!
