FYI- in case you're curious "Siebo" has been Eric's nickname since junior high/high school. His last name "Siebeneck" is German for "seven corners". Because of this, the number 7 has always been Eric's favorite number (he also wore this number while playing soccer in high school). Since then, Eric has used "siebo7" as his alias for a number of online accounts including this deviantArt page. THX for visiting!!!
