Illustrator Eric Siebeneck (Findlay, OH) has had art published in the Star Wars Insider magazine as well as starwars.com. However, most fans may be familiar with his work on designing collectible patches, shirts, pins, stickers, etc. for Lucasfilm approved fan clubs like the 501st Legion, Rebel Legion, R2-KT and others. Eric was also hired by documentary filmmaker Cris Macht for his third film “The Walkers Among Us” and reality series “The Real Fans of the Saga”. Cris is well known within the Star Wars community as being the director/producer of “The Force Among Us” and sequel “The Force Within Us”. All four projects can be seen on Amazon Prime Video. Cris is currently producing a Zoom interview series posted on YouTube titled “Machtails from the Cantina”. Eric not only created the logo design, but will also be a future guest on the show.
Siebeneck’s love of Star Wars was given a second life when George Lucas released the Special Edition in 1997. After graduating from BGSU, with a degree in Visual Communication Technology in ’98, Eric spent the next 20 years in the website design/development/marketing world. But it was his childhood love of Star Wars, now as an adult, which pushed him into the direction of designing and illustrating Stars Wars art. However in 2018, Eric reinvented himself and obtained his CDL, thus beginning a second career. He is currently a local driver (home nightly) for a trucking company out of Findlay, Ohio. Siebeneck is proud to be an essential worker helping keep our economy going during these difficult times.
