I started the Art Scams blog because of the horrible stories I had emailed to me from fellow artists and there were no warnings posted anywhere at the time.\u00c2\u00a0 Now, there are\u00c2\u00a0much larger art networks that have taken the torch with greater success on a\u00c2\u00a0grander scale.\u00c2\u00a0 There is no more need for my whimpy blog, anymore.<\/p>\n

In all honesty, I am just getting too old to deal with the ‘backlash’.\u00c2\u00a0 I also simply do not have the time to keep up with it – being only one person.\u00c2\u00a0 It is much better suited for a large network of individuals that can share the load of responding,\u00c2\u00a0handle the insults and deal with the legal threats.\u00c2\u00a0 Yes.\u00c2\u00a0 Even bad guys have lawyers.<\/p>\n

There are many, many sites RSSing this one, so I will apologize in advance for the, \u00c2\u00a0now,\u00c2\u00a0‘bad links’.\u00c2\u00a0 For you to recognize my work has always been an honor.<\/p>\n

However…I will continue to add some of the daily ‘Ask Bj.’ emails that I get to the category here with the same name.\u00c2\u00a0 Many of these deal with art, help for artists, art scam issues,\u00c2\u00a0spam and website scams, computer and\u00c2\u00a0art business tips,\u00c2\u00a0selling art of eBay and\u00c2\u00a0any other general art help I can offer.\u00c2\u00a0 I will not be posting the actual scam email any longer.<\/p>\n

You can find all other webmaster, web design, SEO tips tricks answers and advice in my Website Help category.\u00c2\u00a0 If I don’t know the answer, I can certainly send you in the right direction toward fellow colleagues for their help.<\/p>\n

Remember…<\/p>\n
