if i get better with time and have already placed my three pictures for donation
would you be able to erase them to place new or better works for donation?
thank you
I always watermark my works and allow people to buy prints of them. I think I would like to donate one of my new works I'm currently working on to the charity but I'm simply confused and scared that without the watermark this art will be stolen. I'm sorry for bothering you with this but for the artist it's really important. So can the art be watermarked to protect it against ripping and using in in non charity way?
I'll be grateful for your answer because in the AfC gallery I didn't see a watermarked pic and the previews and print previews are really big sometimes. How easy to rip it is... And also I didn't find anything in your FAQ about it. I hope you concern about the safety of the artists.
Best regards!
I want to make something, hopefully it WILL be good enough, and help make some money! I'm going to add AFC to my watch list.
Thanks for the support
