Recently I have made the decision to open a new shop on Fine
Art America selling prints of my work. This is a fantastic website because not
only can you order prints on paper or canvas, you can also have the work framed
and shipped directly from this website with a 30-day money back guarantee.
I have taken an informal poll among some of my clients,
asking how they would feel if I sold prints of the artwork they commissioned of
their pets. For the most part, reactions have ranged from fine with it to super
excited that their pet will be ‘famous’! They also like the idea of a new place
to order greeting cards of their artwork or extra prints in different sizes. Copyright
laws generally give the artist the copyright on their own work even if the
original is sold unless otherwise negotiated. For the last few years just to be
clear, I have been posting the notice on my listings that I retain full reproduction
copyright on all of my work.
But please, if you are unhappy that I may soon be offering
your pet’s image for resale on prints or greeting cards, let me know. Making my
clients happy is my top concern.
It's still under construction, but for a sneak peak take a moment to check out the new site here. I think you
