My name is Bradley Erickson. I'm 26 years old, and I am the owner, administrator, and creator of Minion Studios. For my entire life I have been obsessed with creating and designing. I don't have a preferred medium necessarily, which can often be frustrating because I enjoy doing such a variety of things that it's hard to focus on a single project. I love to tell stories, so any creative opportunity that involves communicating a tale really grabs my interest. I've dabbled in drawing, web comic script writing, various programming projects, short stories, poetry, and films.

I created my first web page in 1998. It was a fan page for the Wheel of Time books. The site was embarrassingly simple and crude. I am relieved to say it no longer exists today. However, my appetite was whetted for more. I kept playing with websites throughout the rest of high school and entered into the computer science program at Casper College in 2000. I graduated two years later with an Associates Degree, but had no job opportunities and a disenfanchised outlook on further education in computers. I wasn't learning enough.

While my view has somewhat changed, over the next few years, and quite a few odd jobs, I enjoyed learning about the various technologies that were crafting both the web and video games. I co-founded a gaming community, clanartofwar.com in the fall of 2005, and it has had suprising success. I really have enjoyed that community and have learned an incredible amount while running it.

Minion Studios has existed in some form since 1999. It is now my primary avenue for creative expression. My cousin and I conceived of the name when trying to label our numerous creative projects. I have adapted it to every single project I am involved with, and I created the first site at the minionstudios.com domain in 2005.

I just finished the basic codework for the new version of the site this summer. I am still adding content, both old and new, as I have time.
