     According to Zoom Info Aefraser.com is hauling in 3.8 Million dollars in yearly revenue. This is not true; please don’t believe everything you read on the internet. I also do not have a staff of 19 employees, unless you count my wild animal friends who are paid in hugs and kisses. They aren’t on the books, and neither is that yearly income, as much as I wish it were true. So what was the point of sharing this amazing but seriously erroneous financial news?      Okay, here is my drama; I’m here to shout from the rooftops that I have an issue with these so called “experts”, these self proclaimed Top Selling Artists! I am fed up with people getting away with delusions of grandeur, false identities, and fictitiously padded resumes and generally fake information on the internet. These self labeled Top Selling Artists are published all over the place. Yes this is probably because they are shrewd and ambitious, but they seem to have no idea...

Believe it or not, back in 2003 the concept of exchanging links was considered a positive internet marketing tool. Below is a live example of one of my link exchange requests. For some reason, instead of the email going to the webmaster to be sorted out and deposited in the appropriate link category, my email was published in its entirety where it still resides, at The Museum of Menstruation and Women’s Health (affectionately known as MUM). Here it is, in its naked vulnerability, exactly how it looks on the MUM website : News, 24 February 2003, at MUM - Museum of Menstruation Dear MUM, I was wondering if you would take a moment of your time to review the paintings displayed on my site. The focus of my work is to celebrate, inspire, heal and empower women. Through my works, I attempt to redefine Western femininity by reinterpreting and revitalizing aspects of female embodiment to give them new positive meaning. My philosophical outlook is Humanist/Womanist. I emphas...

Every Artist needs a good origin story. Your tale is what makes you, you. Your life from beginning to end, influences your art. As it should. Because if we are good at our craft, we tap into those emotions and incorporate them into our work in ways that make our viewers feel what we have felt. This involves the dreaded skill of “introspection”, the ability to perform an honest self examination of one’s own feelings, thoughts, and motives. It’s difficult, human’s aren’t pretty, and feelings are gross and messy. Life experiences always involve emotion. Where we come from and how we grew up, shape the core of who we are, how we see the world. How we imagine others see us. We carry within us all of the joys, successes, heartaches, trials and tribulations of our formative years.         It used to be that the world was a smaller place, people were prone to staying in the towns where they grew up, as their parents did, and their parents before them. From the mom...

Hare Majesty Awaits by Amy E. Fraser      Many fascinating discussions have happened over the years with my best friend, we met when I moved to New York City in 1992 and have remained close ever since. She is a deep thinker with very specific opinions on pretty much everything. She is a leader, a trendsetter and against all things mainstream. This is a woman who knows who she is, what she wants and what she’s talking about. She’s always been this way. I’m not saying we agree on everything, we don’t. I’m also a woman of strong opinions. But when it comes to asking her for advice, I know she will have a definitive answer. When it comes to her thoughts on social media, she believes one can not maintain an audience unless they become someone the audience will envy and want to emulate.      Unfortunately for you dear reader, I’m probably not that person. My exploits on social media started in 2000. I’ve been making mistakes publicly ever s...
