Isn't today a day to devote to craft? Isn't tomorrow? Isn't every day, routinely, until the end of time?
Eric Maisel
An artist who is too self-centered is liable to exhibit faults he abhors: carelessness, callousness, and even downright cruelty.

Eric Maisel
I am a human being and an artist: I really, simply, surely am.
Eric Maisel
The artist... may suppose that ideas are his chief currency but unless he is also attuned to feelings, in life and in art, he will not move his fellow human beings.
Eric Maisel

Eric Maisel

Eric Maisel
When a thing is not done, continuing to work is the strength but when it is done, the strength lies in stopping.
Eric Maisel
Whatever pain and suffering you've experienced in your life has been a blessing at least in this one regard: you now know some true things that you couldn't have learned any other way.
Eric Maisel
An inability to choose is a hallmark of anxiety... The too-anxious artist, afraid to choose, will halt dead in the water.
Eric Maisel
Make creativity your religion... because creating is soulful work.
Eric Maisel
Creativity is the gift that keeps on giving.
Eric Maisel
Creativity is the marriage humanity makes with eternity.
Eric Maisel
Many people are embarrassed to create in public. It feels unseemly to them, like kissing in plain view... Make a spectacle of yourself.
Eric Maisel
Talent is so loaded a word, so full to the brim with meanings, that an artist might be wise to forget about it altogether and just keep on working.
Eric Maisel
Abstraction is itself an abstract word and has no single meaning ... Every word in our language is abstract, because it represents something else.
