WINNER of the 2024 Annual Redlands T-shirt Design Contest

Meet the winner of the 2024, Redlands T-shirt design contest.

“A husband, father, hockey fan, sci-fi geek, and graphic designer living in my hometown of Redlands, California. I have a deep love of vintage styled typography, along with all of the ornate aesthetics of that unique era. From the circulation department of a publishing company, to Art Director for Outdoor Photographer Magazine, to designing wedding stationery for Minted.com, the past twenty-five years as a graphic designer have been full of exciting opportunities. Hopefully my art can bring you as much joy as it has for me.” Eric
