Known primarily for his music, Erick Encinares has also produced a significant amount of artwork that spans almost two decades alongside his involvement with the art-house rock band, The Sleepyheads and the independent art space Future Prospects.

Erick Encinares became witness to the vibrant art community that independent art spaces foster and support. Throughout his other career as an artist, Encinares has taken the role of custodian for memorabilia and other collectibles, as he continues to champion the culture of music and its related media from both the local and international scene. Notorious for handing out his own silkscreened T-shirts to colleagues and friends, either for the self-promotion of his band or in paying tribute to other musical icons, Encinares has quickly evolved into incorporating his own witty one-liners, his parodies from observed social phenomena, and several visual puns into his projects, which bring to the fold both the humorist and the keen commentator in him.
He also ventured in a series of works, which is a collection of paper collage works depicting iconic personalities from the field of art, music, and popular entertainment. There, Encinares revitalized the meaning of ‘tribute’ through his own process of art-making.
In his desire to continue advocating for screen printing as an art form, he co-founded Primal Screen with Manuel Ocampo and Gerry Tan. They collaborate with different artists to produce limited serigraphs of their work. He continues to explore techniques for his own work and as a medium for other artists.
