PHOTOGRAPHER & DESIGNER

Erika wrangled Jonathan into a quick 5 min photo shoot to test out an idea.

This was the idea.

Think it turned out well.

CREATOR - DESIGNER - PHOTOGRAPHER

PHOTOGRAPHY- Erika took nearly a 1000 photos of the truly amazing Natalia Roberts as reference material for the Retrograde Nova webcomic.

Erika worked with a digital artist to create the first image of TITAN, the hero of Retrograde Nova.

Erika has spent years putting together the Transmedia story of Retrograde Nova. One of the hardest elements is to find the right platform and medium for each of the story elements. Certain things that work well in video do not translate to comic books, and other things that are easy to photograph don't work well as an audio drama. Her focus has been on creating an exciting, exhilarating story that best uses each medium's strength.

"Life On Echo" is the web series prequel to the story told in Retrograde Nova. As RN is going to take years to get onto a comic book page Erika decided to start shooting a few videos of what happens to Titan and her crew before the disaster that leaves her stranded in another galaxy.

Her "fun little idea" got out of hand and now LIFE ON ECHO has turned into a 32 episode web series which will soon be on YouTube. Our first major showing was our own special panel at the Comic Book Convention, BlerDCon, in Arlington VA.

On top of that, there is an audio drama which spans the stories of both Life on Echo and Retrograde Nova called “Ultra Solar Tales.” This will also be released in the near future as a weekly audio drama on all podcast platforms. Erika leads the voice cast as the story takes some wild turns with Titan in a constant state of survival… and constant state of annoyance at her best friend and confidant, Talos, a glitchy and hyper excitable A.I.

Erika directed the creation of multiple show bumpers and video intros.
