Born in the great state of confusion – er, Minnesota, Erik Burnham has long been attracted to the more creative things in life including art, writing, movies, music, comic books, and interpretive dance. He may well be lying about that last one.
A man of so many passions, sadly, has little time to properly tend to the whole lot… but he does find time to return to comic book creations that include Nick Landime and the Down Side on occasion. A book of prose adventures for Nick Landime is in the planning stages and the Down Side irregularly appears right here on Burnhamania.com. The rest of Erik’s free time is co-opted with freelance writing and/or art projects for anyone whose check clears.
Erik is also an amateur filmmaker with several short films to his credit that he will never show anyone. Ever. He looks forward to getting the chance to put a movie together that deserves an audience (but as a perfectionist, the odds of that happening…) He is currently debating whether or not to hold his breath over finding the time (and money!) to do so.
Erik enjoys writing in the third person.
(Not really.)
