Signature & copyright

2003-12-19 by J Vee

Just searched the archives for info re the above and, some good info about
using artist pencils rather that graphite.  However, I wonder what is the
general practice in the group about placing the signature and Copyright:
Printed as part of the image, signed under the overmat, on the reverse of
mat or print, outside on the overmat, or what.  It seems to me to be a
problem, because anything that does not appear on the image leaves us open
to "inadvertent" copyright infringement.  For many of us, our hand signature
just doesn't look very good.  Thus I am left with a discreet script C and
signature in the usual lower right of the image, printed as part of the
image.  This is, traditionally appropriate for paintings and reproductions
of them, but is frowned upon by galleries and also calls forth the negative
opinion some have of a "digital" print.  What are those of you who sell fine
art prints doing?  J Vee
