She is known for her attention to detail, macabre tendencies, and subtle romanticism with nature and lore. Being mostly self-taught she strives to incorporate elements of fine art and design into her illustrations. Most often she is influenced by art nouveau, traditional printing methods, street art, and typography. Recently Erica has been creating screen printed posters and apparel, letterpress prints, and work for group exhibitions.Screen printing is a printing technique that uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil. The attached stencil forms open areas of mesh that transfer ink or other printable materials which can be pressed through the mesh as a sharp-edged image onto a substrate. A roller or squeegee is moved across the screen stencil, forcing or pumping ink past the threads of the woven mesh in the open areas. Screen printing is also a stencil method of print making in which a design is imposed on a screen of silk or other fine mesh, with blank areas coated with an impermeable substance, and ink is forced through the mesh onto the printing surface. It is also known as silkscreen, seriography, and serigraph.We work with artists studios and game companies to design custom posters and collectibles for collectors and partners
