Education and career

Born in 1949 in New York City, John Frazee received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Pratt Institute, having studied previously at the High School of Art & Design in New York City. He has since had over 10 solo exhibitions, and his work has been included in over 100 group exhibitions.

In 1993, Frazee won a contest for a short story that introduced the buttered cat paradox in Omni magazine competition.[1] The paradox arises when one considers what would happen if one attached a piece of buttered toast (butter side up) to the back of a cat, then dropped the cat from a large height.
