This image carries more weight than any I’ve taken deep in the forest. Because just over his shoulder—humans. Villages. Plowed fields. Breathing down his neck.

"That very night in Max's room a forest grew
and grew—
and grew until his ceiling hung with vines
and the walls became the world all around"

What is “wild,” really?

It’s untouched. Far from home. Far from humans. Animals beholden to no man.

But when you visit these “remote” locations, you get your Santa-outing moment.

Those crystal-clear springs with manatees from documentaries and magazines? Lined with homes and pontoons.

The leopard resting in a tree? Surrounded by safari vans.

Herds of bison crossing the Lamar Valley? Peaceful—until you look left and right to see a road jammed with cars.

Those endless jungles where gorillas roam?

They do, in fact, end. And abruptly.

Reverse the roles in Sendak’s story. After all, who are the real beasts in this tale?


In Max's forest homes were built
and built—
and built until his trees and vines were cleared
and the jungle became farmland.

This image carries more weight than any I’ve taken deep in the forest. Because just over his shoulder—humans. Villages. Plowed fields. Breathing down his neck.

His childlike posture. His gaze. There’s no aggression in his eyes. No fear.

Just… fact.

This is what’s becoming of Max’s room.

He’s accepted it.

But that doesn’t mean we have to.

LIMITED EDITION

A moment captured for a life on paper.

Eric works with a renowned print studio in Brooklyn, New York, known for decades of expertise in archival pigment printing. The local lab allows for a collaborative approach, ensuring that his intended vision is expressed in the final artwork. When cared for properly, archival pigment prints can last for over a century.

Archival Pigment Prints

Modern printmaking, refined. Pigment prints utilize state-of-the-art digital technology and high-quality pigment-based inks to achieve striking reproductions. A digital image is applied directly onto the paper using precision inkjet printers, ensuring both image quality and longevity.

Vision meets the surface. Archival papers differ in weight, material, and texture. A paper is chosen to best suit the intent of the piece, from satin finishes to enhance rich shadows and colors, to handmade Japanese rice paper that offers a more textured and vintage feel.

The edition size ensures that only the number of prints indicated will ever be produced. Each print is proofed, reviewed, numbered, and signed by Eric, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity that is unique to your artwork.
