Erich Meatleg is an artist; omnifarious.
As the frontman of the company, he owns many titles.
He is the Lead Animation Guru, the Minister of Interviews, the Illustrator Illustrious, the CEO and the Producer Prime. A Generous Generalist, he strives to tie many interests, into one marriage of necessity.
From a young age, Erich Meatleg had a passion for drawing, that evolved into the desire to create three dimensionally. On the road to completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in sculpture, he apprenticed with several blacksmiths in Missouri and Colorado. During his studies, he combined his love of musical composition and sculpture to create a series of electric violins, cellos and contrabasses from steel.
After immigrating to Japan and becoming a father, he wanted to invite his children into a creative adventure, so he began to produce short films to incorporate model making and practical effects, stop animation with live action composited over green screen.
He continues to illustrate, write music, and produce video in collaboration with his comrades as a part of Meatleg Productions. His current focus on VFX requires all of his talents and experience to be able to produce stories worth retelling.
