About Eraserdread

EraserDread is an independent animation studio based in Montreal, founded by director and animator Corey Nikolaus. Specializing in clay-inspired animation, the studio blends handcrafted sculpture with 3D and 2D animation to create visually distinct, surreal, and often darkly comedic work.

Using a hybrid production process, characters are sculpted by hand, 3D scanned, refined, and animated digitally—preserving the tactile imperfections and real-world textures of traditional claymation while embracing the flexibility of modern animation.

EraserDread creates original animated content, music videos, commercials, and branded projects for artists, agencies, and collaborators looking for something visually different—work that feels genuinely handmade in the era of AI, while combining the craftsmanship of practical sculpture with the possibilities of modern animation.
