Eric Hurtgen



Thanks for finding your way to my site. I’m a graphic designer and an artist. I was born in Louisville, Kentucky and, after about 15 years living out of the state, I’ve settled in rural Central Kentucky with my family.  

If you’re interested in working together or in my artwork, I’d love to hear from you. You can email me at eric.hurtgen(at)gmail.com.

Below you’ll find links to my design and artwork as well as a site called New Rural, a growing collection of conversations, statements and music recommendations.
