Eric's BlogThe Artist's Oath
The Artist’s Oath is a personal commitment to how I show up creatively. It is a reminder to lead with integrity, to resist the pressure to perform, and to make work that reflects truth, not just what gets attention. It is a compass for navigating the tension between expression and permanence, and a way to stay rooted in what matters: presence, process, and purpose, not perfection.

For me, drawing is a fundamental way I engage with the world.
It’s where my ideas take shape, allowing me to move from mere observation to understanding the details of what I see.
In a time where screens and digital tools dominate, the simplicity of pencil on paper remains essential to my creative process.
As technology has become more integrated into design education, the focus on traditional drawing has lessened.
While these digital skills are valuable, they shouldn't replace the foundational practice of drawing.
I believe every designer should be comfortable with sketching because it allows us to express ideas freely, without relying on pre-existing images—a crucial step in any creative endeavor.

Still making marks with my hands. Although I love all kinds of marks, and processes, marks from someones hand hits differently. All due respect. If you’re like me, let’s grow the /figurative channel together.

I felt like a couple years ago I was watching many artists steadily improve with regular drawing and animation techniques. I’m not anti-AI at all but I do feel like lots of people have just stopped pushing themselves with traditional techniques
