One of the most insightful tellings of a truth of which I have been aware for years. Jack White used to sell paintings on eBay using not only a pseudonym but a pseudo-narrative, a wealthy bachelor painter, and claimed to have success although he admitted that it takes time on that venue to build your audience. If I remember correctly he said he received more than one marriage proposal! But this article expands on the reasons why context matters, not just that it does matter. Thank you, Clint. I've been hiding behind a facade of professionalism for years, even though I have a sense of humor that I can't deny. Going forward I am going to be more aware of simply sharing my life as I share my paintings.
