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.

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.

Resistance shows up in many forms—fear, procrastination, self-doubt—and it often keeps us from doing the work that matters most.
For me, this force was particularly strong in my artistic journey, holding me back from fully embracing my craft.
The key to overcoming resistance? Becoming a pro. This doesn’t just mean working in your field; it’s about adopting a professional mindset.
It means showing up consistently, committing to your craft, and pushing through, even when it’s hard.
Once I embraced this approach, everything changed.
I started treating my art with the seriousness it deserved, dedicating myself fully to every project—whether it was exploring new mediums, creating digital pieces, or diving into my career.
This shift helped me break through resistance and produce work that felt more authentic and true to myself.
