From 2021-2023, 700 people filled out my survey that also had two open-ended questions:

"What's one thing that Eric can do better?"

"What's one thing that's holding Eric back from being a top-selling artist?"

Your top two responses + a few things ai learned

TOP RESPONSE 1️⃣ 1️

Focus on Cohesion and Consistency

Your feedback suggest to hone in on a specific artistic approach, instead of constantly jumping to new projects. That focusing on a cohesive style & dedicating myself to one project or collection at a time is beneficial.

THE BIGGEST SURPRISE 👀

Only one of 700 ppl expressed that they'd like to see me focus on remixing, IP, and media ownership. I expected more tbh. Perhaps this is due to the way the OE questions are worded. But it does have me wondering if other artists are better suited.

ANOTHER SURPRISE 😊🥰

Several ppl mentioned balancing work and personal life could boost my creativity. This holistic view is unexpected in art feedback, showing a deeper connection and concern from you beyond typical critiques. I feel blessed you think of me that way.

MY KEY TAKEAWAY HERE🔑

What this feedback indicates to me is: While you connect with me personally, you crave a deeper, more emotional connection to my art. And I can do that by focusing on depth in my art practice & the stories I tell around it. 

Time to get to work.

TOP RESPONSE 2️⃣  

Improve Marketing and Exposure

A big point that came up was the need to amp up the marketing and get more eyes on the artwork. People think I should really get the word out there more effectively to draw in new collectors and grow your audience.
