Eric Carlson – Director
I am a new professor at Bemidji State University, where I teach illustration and design courses. I hold a BS in Art Education with an emphasis in 2D Design, and my master’s work is in art education with classes from Art of Education University and Augsburg College. My experiences include four years as an illustrator and graphic designer for Mad Science of Minnesota and Schoolhouse Chess and ten years teaching K-12 art at Kelliher Public School and Jefferson Community School in Minneapolis. During five years at Kelliher, I included managing and operating a Fab Lab maker space and designing a curriculum around 3D printing, dye-sublimation printing, and CNC fabrication. The Kelliher School Fab Lab won the Profiles in Excellence award in 2017 from the Minnesota Rural Education Association (MREA). I was a semifinalist for Teacher of the Year in Minnesota in 2018. I have a particular interest in graphic novels and the maker movement.

Hi, my name is Ethan Anderson. I’m a first-year student studying Exhibit and Graphic design and Music. Although I’m just starting out, I couldn’t be more excited to see what skills I’ll learn and what projects I’ll get to work on throughout the next couple years. When I get some spare time, I love making music, drinking coffee, hanging out with friends and family, and being outside.
