This is the story of creating the Turtle Circle, a monumental piece of land art created by Eric Mailhot in Lanaudière back in 2021.

I was at a crossroads when I landed in Lanaudière in 2020. Having just left my life in Quebec City, I was afforded a brief moment to assess the situation and to consider my options. It obviously felt like a no-brainer that I should stay the course, continue my networking with the Ericzone Podcast and to move forward with my job in marketing.

Gold Siblings est un portrait réalisé par Eric Mailhot, avec stylo à bille sur canevas de bois de 18x14 pouces et embelli avec des feuilles d'or et de la peinture acrylique.

Click here for the english version of this blog L’art a ce potentiel de transformer un projet motivant en une soudaine leçon d’humilité. Sans trop plonger dans les soucis techniques, le processus créatif transporte souvent l’artiste dans un parcours introspectif inattendu et enrichi d’émotions importantes. En toute honnêteté, je ne vois pas comment l’art pourrait se faire autrement. Quelle…

Ivan \ DrGn / Visual Artist: An interview by Ericzone

Ivan is a prolific visual artist with an urban style that is akin to graffiti. The abstract shapes woven with often thick lines contrast with the colors organically and somewhat reminds me of Haida art from Native America.

My brother’s birthday was the excuse I needed to take some time off of my busy schedule so I could create another art profile interview. It had been on my mind for months now and I was happy to finally be able to offer him this video, which showcases the unique and amazing art that he creates. He really is a prolific visual artist with an urban style that is akin to graffiti. The abstract shapes…

The Tree Hugger: Ephemeral art in nature by Eric

The tree hugger became is proof that I survived winter and four years in Quebec city. The self-portrait is my farewell love letter to Quebec and a polaroid of my state of mind.

I landed in Quebec City in March of 2016 in the context of my professional work in marketing as an audiovisual specialist and graphic artist. After a few trial and error attempts at finding the proper place near my new job, I finally settled in a lovely suburban neighborhood located in the area known as ‘Les Saules’. Albeit costly, and plagued by barking dogs, the apartment was near all…
