Description Eternal Youth Uppermill Mounted Print by Eric Jackson, Statement Artworks. Former journalist Eric Jackson, who was the arts editor, TV critic and travel editor of the Manchester Evening News and a lecturer in journalism at two universities, has returned to his first love of painting, which he studied at art school, and he now specialises in northern poster art. His one aim: to make art fun, combining his love of words and visual imagery. His first series of works concentrates on the districts surrounding Manchester, where he was born. These are both subversive and affectionate, highlighting the quirks and peculiarities of a place.
