The 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.

Not My First Rodeo: Minting SuperRare Ghost Tokens
The story of how I minted art on SuperRare in 2021 while banned.
A semi-regular newsletter at the intersection of art, life, and tech. I write mainly to capture my own history of thought and progression, but I hope each one carries a kernel of usefulness for you too.

Every idea is shaped by something that came before it. This isn't a limitation but a natural part of human evolution, where the challenge lies in how we reinterpret and transform these influences. Your unique perspective—shaped by your experiences—serves as the lens through which ideas are filtered and reimagined.
Understanding that everything is remixed through your unique lens frees you from the pressure of being "original" and allows for deeper exploration. Creativity thrives when you acknowledge this interconnectedness and contribute to the ongoing dialogue that it represents.
To combat the pressures of originality, engaging in activities like drawing—whether through illustration, white boarding, or writing—can help you visualize and express ideas authentically.
This approach ensures that your work emerges from your unique perspective, rather than being confined by existing visual materials.
