11.5X9.5 Etching on Copper Plate on Arches 200# Buff: Done as a demo while I was in UCLA Graduate School in 1972, this has been a fun gift for many of my friends including the Dean at that time who let me βborrowβ the oiginal Rembrant etching from the Grunwald collection to draw from.Related content

I downloaded this and marveled at it earlier, I think before I had a dA account. Now I've got an account and can lean on the Favorite button. Hard!

Ok, I understand perfectly. I just had 10 paintings delivered to a supplier of mine right straight from a Chinese sweat shop. They look very very close to mine, considering that the original paintings were only quick little sketches at 9x12 inches. Now these were not prints they were original oil copies!!! Good thing I knew the owner of the bookstore because they we going to sell him these for $16.00 each framed. Good God I can't even buy the materials for that.

... it's really sad in so many ways... i've had people ask for prints and re-sized them but left a watermark in the middle.. i'm not sure if that helps... but some buy.. some dont so i have to wonder why ask for me to put them in prints if they dont want to purchase them?
and it's good to keep up with tech.. i think i know exactly how those.... did it... bc of the purchase of an mp3player recently .. it can copy EXACTLY whats on the screen...i only found out by mistake putting my arwork on
its not even an ipod ?? lol
but i can imagine with those its even easier with more options...
so i'm thinking NOW of adding a watermark to all or trademark of some sort, i hate to do it bc it detracts from the work but what can you do?
its the same for musicians i suppose and poets... i'm really sorry and its too bad an org to support artists .. a sort of 'watchdog ' where we look out for one another can't be formed...
i'm sure somehow in this maze of the WWW ... something can be formed to be done about this
best of luck and i'm truly sorry
