Erik Benson is a former inker, who is completing the Masters Program at California State University, Fullerton. His work has moved to incorporate digital media, yet maintain the traditional aesthetic of his comic book roots. He looks towards a return to the medium of comics as a penciller, and has ambitions to self-publish. Many of the works on display reflect the story he wishes to tell, which is a tale of classic monsters plunged into the conflict of World War 2.
Erik’s works will be on display inside Melt Gallery August 24th – 29th.
Melt Gallery is located inside Meltdown Comics

Titmouse Vol. 1 is not a cartoon. It is also not a comic book, not a magazine, and it’s not a book–it’s a MOOK, a magazine-book. Like Sushi, MOOK is an addictive Japanese concept that will take the world by storm. It also goes great with saké, with a significantly lower risk of succumbing to the paralyzing effects of mercury poisoning.
We have assembled a team of weirdo artist-types to create this 100 page hardcover anthology and printed it in full color on fancy paper featuring comic strips, paintings, and interviews from some of the art world’s most interesting individuals. It’s 1/3 Heavy Metal, 1/3 Mad Magazine, 1/3 Juxtapoz, and 1/3 Ralph Bakshi film-on-paper, fancy paper. ****Titmouse vol. 1 is so revolutionary, it occupies 4/3rds the referential time and space of normal media.****
You might ask yourself or a friend, why cartoon company want make book? Chief editor and studio president, Chris Prynoski said, “I wanted to make this book, because I wanted to read a book like this, and that’s why I wanted to make it.” Art Director, Antonio Canobbio, is French–so you know the stuff in Titmouse Vol. 1 is real art!
Titmouse vol. 1 features artists of comic book and animation fame including:
- Tommy Blacha
- Freddy Christy
- Dave Cooper
- Steven Daily
- Jacob Escobedo
- Dave Fremont
- Kaori Hamura
- Paul Harmon
- Dave Johnson

- And a special drawing by one of our “Hollywood Neighbors.”
