Erik Whittaker was brought up in the Berkeley California of the 60s and 70s and is now a bit disappointed to find that the world is not a utopia. He did his M.A. in Design at UC Berkeley with grandiose schemes to re-purpose the 200 ft. smoke stack of San Francisco's old Hamm's Brewery building into a periscopic camera obscura and the soon to be defunct East Span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge into a park with mixed housing and business between the upper and lower decks. Erik is now living in Vancouver Canada pursuing various creative contracts as he slowly shifts out of the film business, where he is employed primarily as a production designer, and into his dream of becoming an artist in a barn with a view.
