My name is Erik Mallinson. I draw pictures, make music, and some other stuff. I like playing the ‘ukulele, riding my scooter around Boston, and playing board games.
Follow me on Twitter (@erima) if you’re into that sort of thing. You might also check out my illustration and music studio (@gravel).

Dropbox is terrific for keeping and sharing a recipe folder.

A doodle I made in Adobe Ideas for the iPhone (iTunes). What makes this app different than Brushes, Layers and Sketchbook Mobile? Ideas is vector–based – images can be manipulated on a desktop computer and can be resized to any proportion without sacrificing image quality. Ideas is a nice app though I found my finger hesitated a lot in trying to choose the right nested tool bar… I had to think twice about how to select different colors, opacity, and brush sizes. I’m still pining for Scribbles (from the guy who makes Tweetie/Twitter for iPhone) to come to the iPhone and iPad. Why? Scribbles is a beautiful Mac vector drawing app with a cool feature… infinite canvas. There’s no edge to the drawing area - which makes sense considering it’s digital and vector graphics have a small file size that can still pack in a lot of detail. Digital sketchbooks are getting there but they aren’t there yet. Until then, and probably after, I’m sticking with paper, watercolor, brushes, pen and pencil.

Ice Tycoon has become one of my favorite iPhone games. It’s a time management game stripped down to the core element: serve ice cream as quickly as possible to get a high score. There’s no poorly written backstory, no items introduced… they’re all there from the start. The graphics and music are excellent too. … oh and it’s free!
