An artist needs exposure for his artwork.  To do this, one may work with organizations, websites and galleries to display the work.  In working with anyone or organization, an artist needs to maintain control over his rights of the artwork.  Gaining exposure via the web is a popular to present one’s artwork.  However, it is important to take necessary precautions because people can easily download one’s artwork images.  To prevent copyright infringement, one should incorporate a copyright notice in the image file that includes the “©” symbol and one’s name.  Also, adding a watermark on the image notifies people immediately that the artwork is protected.  Moreover, one should include a statement that clearly states that one’s images are subject to copyright and that the artist’s rights are reserved.  And lastly, it is ideal to format one’s images online that that they cannot be downloaded.
