Welcome to My Creative World
I’m Erik Dunton—Creative Director, Designer, Illustrator, and lifelong musician with over 30 years of experience shaping imaginative content across the music and publishing industries. From album covers to educational media, my journey has woven together artistry and purpose, with a special focus on early childhood development and special education.
Today, my passion is centered on writing and illustrating children’s books, composing and performing music for young audiences, and crafting multimedia experiences that spark curiosity and joy. Whether through graphic design, motion graphics, video, or interactive audio, I specialize in turning meaningful ideas into playful, engaging stories that resonate with children and the grownups who guide them.
