EWG Logo from this period |
This year sees the regular use of digital pencils, inks and colors on all commissioned work as we moved away from traditional art and shipping a physical product entirely. Graphic design was also added to the lineup of commission services offered. This included logos, album covers, mascot design, poster design and more. Honor Martial Arts came to EWG. This spurred the creation of many exciting and unique t-shirt graphic designs for years to come.

"It has been our absolute pleasure to work with Eryck Webb Graphics. We needed a master artist to anchor our martial arts designs for our business, and a master artist is what we got. We searched for life-like and detailed art work, and we received works of art that will survive the test of time."

2011-2012 Notables:
● Winter 2012 - EWG began an ongoing relationship with the martial arts themed apparel business Honor Martial Arts. I designed and produced Judo and other martial arts related attire. This would be the first ongoing clothing design client for EWG.
● Spring 2012 - My webcomic Bump On A Log hits its 100th weekly strip, which was a special 4 strip comic introducing a new character 'Rose', based on my wife Kristina.
● Spring 2012 - The importance of putting my own personal works out there is emphasized when my work on Bump On A Log inspires Honor Martial Arts to start a strip with me called 'Delusions of Normalsy'. The web comic Created/Written by Del Conkright. Art and website by Eryck Webb Ended at the end of 2012, but can be read in entirety over at del-usionsofnormalsy.deviantart.com
● Spring 2012 - 'Lake Michigan Blues' - My third published comic work came out this year. I worked on it during my engagement to Kristina, and finished it in early 2012. Lake Michigan Blues was a 120pg black and white with gray shades crime epic that took about a year to draw start to finish. Art was by Eryck Webb and script by Ryu Miyaki. It was available on Amazon eBooks and other eBook vendors till 2014. I note this as the project that turned me onto the aesthetics of black and white comic art/ illustration with gray tones for a story telling medium. This book was very well received in reviews.
● Spring 2012 - 'Cartel', #1-#2 Released - Following the success of Lake Michigan Blues, Drew Miyaki commissioned a pair of covers to be used to publish print editions of the two finished Cartel chapters. Art by Eryck Webb, Script by Drew Miyaki - The Cartel chapters were available on Amazon eBooks and other eBook vendors and in print via IndyPlanet and were generally received well by reviews!
● Summer 2012 - 'The Good The Bad and The Geeky Live' - They approached me for the first time to design a promotional poster for the podcast's first live event. This is my first true poster design as EWG, utilizing mascot representations of the (at the time) 3 podcast hosts and also design and type layout. They became a great client that I enjoy working with to this day. Check out their podcast over at www.gbgpodcast.com
● Summer 2012 - Character Art Commission of City of Heroes group called The Vangaurdians. It included 18 full color characters in one layout and was the largest character commission EWG had done up to that point.
