Question
What direction should I go in? Every few years I have received acclaim for my creativity, in many different mediums and artistic endeavor. This year I have painted a dozen pieces.  Working on a website to exhibit them. Would you suggest integrity, the work speaking for itself, or is it advantageous to drop names?  

Answer
Hello Michael.....great questions!

Not to be crass....but an artist cannot promote their works too much.....exposure is an absolute must.  When you think of it....this makes sense.....because if no one knows you exist...or what your work represents...they can't make intelligent decisions about it...whether to love it and buy it...or tell others about it.  So in your venacular...."it is advantageous to drop names"........

good luck.
