Climbing the Stairway to Heaven... Vena

Wonderful Vena. :) This would be great as a 'sympathy' card for cat lovers who have lost their pets. Try it as such on the Z place, perhaps? -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

Yes, Vera that is a very cute cat. On the z store you could make it as a magnet or sticker which would not have to increase the pixels, which infact would decrease the overall size. I have noticed that you do not have a watermark on you works. Might be a very good idea since your ACEO's so easy to put good captions too. I right clicked you image, went to photobucket and from there I could have posted it to facebook and no telling where it would go without a copyright on it. Just a thought. ~Patty~

Vena, it's precious and touching!

Patty, I have no idea how to put watermarks on things - I loathe computers like most kids loathe broccoli. 🙂 Vena

Nice work, Vena. Like broccoli, watermarks are good for you. 🙂

[pinkshudders]

Are watermarks good with melted cheese? That's the only way I can tolerate broccoli... Vena

Vena, you don't need to create some fancy schmancy looking watermark. Just use whatever paint program you have and write your name/copyright somewhere on the art. Just my opinion, but I think having a copyright symbol on the art somewhere sends a message to a potential thief that you take your copyright seriously, and they'll move on and look for something else to steal. When I first started selling my photographs, I never watermarked because I though they weren't good enough to steal. Most of us, as artists, have low self, and don't think our work is good enough to steal, but it is. We're all vulnerable to theft. These days I won't even put a photo on my blog without putting a © symbol on it. -- Kathy
