Should Art Online Have A Watermark?

In my opinion, after 20 years in business, the shout-from-the-rooftops-answer to 'should artists watermark their work for online use' is: YES! YES! YES! Most artists want to protect the integrity of their art pieces and image files online. Adding a watermark is one way to do that. Using low-resolution (screen-resolution) files is another way. Keep in mind though, that neither of these methods will 100% adequately ensure that your artwork won’t be stolen or used.

Struggling With Likeness & 2022 Calendars 🧡

Today's Notes: ►Capturing Likeness►2022 Calendars are ready for pre-order!   It's fun to be inspired by specific families, their stories and their photos.

Sometimes I have 25 customs in process at a time, and sometimes just one. They all get their fair share of my time and heart, I...
