After hours
The same hands that draw the dive plates also carve foam into stone, mount skulls, rebuild golf carts and wire fireworks. Twelve builds from the garage, 2010 to now, each shown in the order it happened.
← Back to the shirtsA worn-out EZGO, bought in April. By June: lithium power, a lift, the hull painted with gun ports, a hand-drawn treasure map on the hood, a ship's wheel, candle lanterns on the roof posts and a Blackbeard flag.
Reef-keeping since 2013. The current nano reef sits on a stand carved from foam board, stone by stone, sealed and painted to read as a dry-stacked wall, and it is fed from a two-barrel saltwater mix reservoir plumbed under the carport.
Twenty-five European-style mounts on hand-cut, stained plaques with leather pads. Every pad is laser-engraved with Eric's signature and every mount is named with a copper tag he stamped by hand, letter by letter.
The tags, as stamped:
On the same wall: a hat rack made from a longhorn skull with two hand-woven 7 ft bullwhips and a wolf paw; a two-necklace voodoo set of boar tusks, mink femur bones, coyote toe, buffalo teeth bleached and unbleached, coyote teeth, wooden beads and custom skull beads; and a rose crystal knife with a reindeer antler handle. The knife is another maker's; the mounting and embellishments are Eric's.
A Silverado, worked on in stages: sub box, under-glow, lift and light bar, grille guard, bed lights, roof rack, a fibre-optic star headliner and a gauge cluster swap.
From a 2010 breadboard and a seven-segment timer to a drone fleet and a self-built FPV camera rig: a DJI O3 air unit, pan-tilt gimbal and cooling fan on an acrylic plate, finished October 2026.
Hand-built mortar racks and a wired firing panel for a backyard Fourth of July.
Two cedar slab cookies on a split-log column.
A pallet-slat frame, padded and upholstered, for a mastiff who approved.
A terrarium build with a stone wall, pebble slope and planted top. Same stacked-stone method as the aquarium stand, but the wall is real coarse pumice, sawn into individual stones.
Live-edge planks hung on chain as plant shelves for a window, signed on the underside.
A burned-letter name board hung from antler and rope, over a driftwood branch set with old-fashioned cut spike nails, for hanging keys.
Easel paintings, an airbrushed family canvas, office-door murals, the bucket-list journal, the hood and dash maps for the cart, and the 2025 daily planner drawn front and back in paint marker. The dive-site plates come from the same hand.
Custom dive-site plates, shirts for a shop or club, and one-off builds like the ones above. Tell us what you have in mind and we will reply with questions, a proof plan and a quote.
