Erik Olson admires a painting of a leopard woman at Comic Con 2006
My good friend and esteemed collegue Erik Olson is leaving Art Center for a full time position at The College of Creative Studies in Detroit Michigan starting this fall. Erik has been teaching drawing, painting, illustration and perspective classes at Art Center for 10 years. He has been one of my best friends ever since we met in art school way back in 1984. Although I am sad to see him move away, I am very excited for him and this new challenge. CCS is definitely getting one of our best and funniest teachers.
Behind the scenes Erik has been one of The Drawing Club’s biggest supporters. The Drawing Club would not be where it is today without his help.
This Thursday 8/10 there will be a going away party for Erik at Art Center. Everyone is invited. Friends, collegues, students and former students. Pass the word around and please join us in giving Erik a big send off.
If you would like to email Erik a message you can reach him at, eolsonite@sbcglobal.net
