Erik Klaus aka @Interstateninja is the creator of Ninjas & Robots™ the Punk Rock Manga-Hit published by Keenspot. He also created the Orange Blossom Monkey Clan™, and he is the editor for Piyotycho’s glorious Bonyeer the Aromatic™!

Erik likes to Draw, make up Stories, Design Characters, and Invent Worlds. When he’s not drawing, writing, doing conventions, or being a stay-at-home-dad, he watches anime or martial arts films, plays Skyrim or Zelda, drinks black tea or Whiskey. But most of the time he’s drawing and writing. He went to art school but he insists there are many paths to climb a mountain. The best art advice he can give is to draw what you like and keep drawing and drawing. Never give up. And after you’ve drawn everything you like, start drawing things you don’t like, you might like them too.

In addition to Ninjas & Robots™, Erik has done published covers and comic book work for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The D Ward, Junior High Horrors, Monkeys Fighting Robots, Biden’s Titans, Bonyeer the Aromatic, Orange Blossom Monkey Clan, and Samurai Sonja.

He would like to thank all the rad people out there who dig his art, are interested in his stories, or just come by and say what’s up at conventions.
