ABOUT US

Welcome to Artsauce! A collaboration between Eric Hamm & Henny Letailleur

Eric Hamm has been working as a hands on agency Creative/Art Director in the greater Los Angeles area for over 15 years. Eric has a knack for understanding his clients and finding the best solution to their unique needs. Trained in both traditional and digital illustration, he brings both worlds together to create unique campaigns, graphics and digital compositions.

Growing up in Southern California Eric was heavily influenced by surreal art by the likes of Salvador Dali, Max Ernst, Giorgio de Chirico, René Margritte and Maxfield Parrish which are seen in his design, illustration, and fine art work. He later developed a great love for Pop Surrealism while attending Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. At Otis, Eric found a love for other disciplines of the art world in the form of graphic design and typography which found him working his way up to Art Director at a Los Angeles advertising agency just two years after graduation.

In the ensuing years, Eric would start his own companies working with a multitude of clients and other artists creating about any kind of advertising and design project imaginable.

Henny Letailleur has been a wardrobe/ props/ product stylist and art director in London, New York and Los Angeles for more than 15 years.

After graduating from a London University with a fashion and textile degree she pursued a career in fashion journalism. She began styling for a number of national newspapers and magazines in the UK, before being head-hunted by News International, who hired her as Deputy Fashion Editor. She went onto work for a number of UK magazines as Fashion and Style Director. She styled adverting campaigns for many British retailers and designers as well as launching celebrity capsule collections with direction for both design and branding.

Since moving to Los Angeles full time she has styled advertising, photo and video shoots for retailers, designers and fashion brands. Her career evolved into styling music videos, commercials, celebrity photo, red carpet and press as well as producing / directing shoots in Los Angeles for international brands.

Her international background has given her a wealth of cultural knowledge, and a sharp fashion edge and ability to translate fashion trends to global appeal has led to high-profile work across the globe

Together Henny and Eric recently launched a print design line consisting of all original artworks currently stocked in the US and globally including Fred Segal and Wolf and Badger.
