Signing Dilemma?
Journal Entry: Mon Jan 7, 2008, 3:26 PM
I drew a a volunteer-art piece and now, I've got to sign it... and I've no idea what to do.
Almost everything I've done in the last several years is (a) a dragon/critter for the Nexus -- and as a group, we're not in the habit of branding the images, (b) medieval scroll illuminations -- name on the back, and which piece it's modeled after, if it's not just out of your brain, or gift-art done in the same manner -- no signature on the front. You can see these things in my not-recently-updated gallery...
Classic artists sign the bottom of the painting with a flourish, cunning artists hide their sig in the painting (Have you seen the Pern character portraits Robin Wood did?)... on DeviantArt, the common thing seems to be either a stylized version of your signature, more like a logo, or a brand-thing that's kindof an overlay so you can't 'borrow' the art for your own purposes...
So I'm asking... what do you do? What have people you've gotten/bought stuff from done? I encourage you to send me links to examples, if you've got 'em. I'm totally drawing a blank on this.

I hear that traveling more thing, it's midnight and I'm heading out to An Tir to be there in time for an event in the morning.
I'm from the barony of Arn Hold in Artemisia.

And I am still somewhat active in the SCA; I've been travelling to more events --- rather, travelling -more- to events. It's good to get out of (and away from) the home group from time to time.
I'm from the Barony of Nordskogen, Kingdom of Northshield, btw.
You still in SCA?
