Our friends over at R2-KT are celebrating the artists of the galaxy, shining a light on their work during these tough times which has seen conventions cancelled and postponed and their main revenue streams cut off as other matters take precedence. Each day through June, R2-KT focuses on a talented artist of the galaxy, and today we look at the art of Eric Ehrlich.
As a kid growing up amidst a backdrop of challenging situations, Star Wars served as way to imagine, escape, dream, and find hope. It still has that power for him. Eric studied fine art and creative communications at the Art Institute of Dallas and has spent the last 30 years as a designer, creative director and brand storyteller for many iconic brands including LEGO, Disney, VISA, Keebler, Coca-Cola, and AT&T. In 2015 Eric fulfilled a lifelong dream of being a Stormtrooper when he joined the 501st Legion and that opened a new door for new opportunities to combine his love of design with his love of Star Wars.
Over the past 5 years Eric has worked with Rancho Obi-Wan, The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and The Peter Mayhew Foundation as well as the 501st Legion, Astromech Builders and Rebel Legion clubs. He is most grateful to have found an avenue that allows him to celebrate his love of Star Wars and passion for helping others. It was through the 501st Legion Eric and his husband Zylo met Albin and. Eric recently had the honor of creating the logo art for the R2-KT Global Ambassadroid Group.
