An admittedly slightly ridiculous collection of selfies that Erik has taken with some of his interviewees over the years, ranging from fringe to mainstream, from highbrow to lowbrow – in America, Japan and onwards. All as li’l a testament to the thankfulness over getting to interview the main shapers of contemporary culture.

From singer-songwriters to Hollywood actors, pop art-icons to indie bands, Oscar filmmakers to jazz musicians, TV-actors to J-POP stars, social activist writers to adult film stars, art house auteurs to LGBT-leaders, rappers to leftist politicians, soul legends to street artists, comedians to animation pioneers, photographers to minimalist composers.
