Eric (E. P.) Mattson is an award-winning artist who has worked on some of the biggest blockbusters in history, with over 50 art credits on IMDB. He is experienced in creating multi-channel video assets for clients in the gaming, cybertech, travel, telecommunications and wellness spaces, but what sets him apart is his VFX background with a proven history working on billion-dollar projects in cross-functional teams.
A multidisciplinary artist, Eric creates in the art, writing and music spaces. In 2018, he designed, illustrated and self-published his debut book of poetry, The Opulence Of Invention. In September of 2023 he released his punk rock single, and directed the Official Video in a kaleidoscopic, Pop Art style, winning film festival awards in Prague and Venezuela, and finaling in Rome, Paris and New York. His children's animation short, Butterflies In The Park, finaled at Miracle Makers Film Festival in 2026, in Newport Beach, CA.
His art aesthetic is a high-concept attack on the senses with bold colors, Pop Art and Surrealist sensibilities and satirical themes.
