Erin Hanson is an illustrator, word play enthusiast, and nostalgia junkie living in Austin, TX. Her style is clean and bold, often with a nod to the past, and a wink to the present. She firmly believes that the perfect visual storytelling recipe includes clarity, beauty and humor, because if we’re not laughing we’re probably crying (or sleeping), and everyone needs a good distraction. This distinct perspective makes her style an ideal pairing for editorials, product packaging, and surface design — grabbing the eye, warming the heart, and sparking a smile.
The Austin Chronicle named her "Most Artful Motivator", an honor she continually tries to live up to. When not making art she’s probably making a list about making art, and trying to inspire others over on Recovering Lazyholic.
A closer look under the covers: movies forever, dachshunds for life, orange soda as a taco companion, bottomless chips and salsa, driving without a map, office supplies, relics of the past, everything felt, anything striped, dots on faces.
