About Me

My name is Eric Bowers and I am a Flash Developer, digital artist, digital musician, husband and father. I currently work as Creative Director of Flash for EuroRSCG NY. I've been building Flash sites for 10 years now and I don't think I'll get tired of it any time soon. I feel blessed to live in a generation where we have such tools at our disposal to unfetter our creativity and technical minds.
