They say there are people who give energy and people who take energy. Eric Sedeño is definitely the kind of person who gives it. His radiant smile and infectious laugh make it feel like you’re hanging with a friend rather than watching a creator.

Like past iconic One Hour Photo guests (Kay Poyer), Eric is a fellow Texan. I tend to love people from Texas…

Eric is a designer, so I wanted to show his creativity and sense of color a little more directly. I ran the idea by him of painting on a pane of plexiglass—basically just letting him go wild with paint markers and see what happened—and he was immediately game.

We talked about where we’re from, who inspires us, and the people we’re working on becoming.

This is Eric.

Are you traveling with type A or type B friends?

Oh, Type A down. I need a Type A support system around me, especially while traveling.

Favorite place to cry in Texas?

By a swimming pool in 110 degree weather. That’s the best place to be in Texas, near a swimming pool!

If you had to be on a reality show, which one would you pick?

It’s definitely a tie between Traitors or Real Housewives of Salt Lake City… I want to be the first gay guy housewife.

Who’s inspiring you right now?

Issa Rae and Quinta Brunson. The fact that they’re internet girls who made it happen…

We’re all born funny, and the rest is drag! Right?
