Erf! I only wanted to ask a few questions about this artist and why they do certain things. I guess they didn't like what I said and they blocked me right away.... only right after responding to my comment essentially giving them the last word and preventing me from any rebuttal of any kind. Is that fair? Maybe not. Is it her choice? Yes. I guess there's nothing I can do. I can't even note this person.
Here's my original comment which I fully admit is very critical of her choice to watermark her images.
“ I really like your art. Too bad it's not viewable. I guess this is the last time I come here. I don't follow artist that cover up their work with nasty watermarks. If you don't want people copying your work just upload a lower resolution image so that you always have the best copy. The watermark is overkill. Smaller pictures is just fine. But now they're small AND watermarked. Sad... so sad.”
The artist's reply is as follows. Feel free to read her FAQ which I'm sure has changed now. For some reason I don't remember it saying those exact words last time. I'm not an idiot. I DO read FAQs and look for information.
“You missed the point. People rip the small view too. It doesn't matter how big the image is. They'll rip it no matter what. You make it seem like it's so easy to prevent art theft. Well, it's not. A smaller picture won't stop people from taking it so pretty much nothing would change. There might even be people who would start complaining about the size.
You don't seem to be able to actually think before you comment. If you had read the FAQ on my page you might have found out that I'm not a great fan of the watermarks myself but art theft is even worse. Maybe you'll be able to understand once people start selling your work on the internet.
You're no better that those art thiefs...just complaining but having no clue what you're talking about.”
And here if I was allowed would be my response. Please note I composed this reply before I found out I was blocked.
“Okay so I probably did miss the point. Help me understand.
I'm not an art thief and I don't think I'm in the same category as those people. Why do you post your work and make it so hard to view then? I've seen many artists just stop posting on public sites because of art theft. If it's such a problem why do you continue to post when so many steal?
Why don't you use your own watermark? Anyone who steals your pics won't be able to use it without making it obvious that they altered it. Make a logo or something that's just as big as DA's watermark and then your name or sig. I main main gripe above all others is those who use DA's watermark. It makes it look like they own you.
And I do have one more question. Is there a place I can BUY your work? I mean pay money for prints etc? Your work is great. It's hang on my wall great. I noticed you don't use the DA print options. I can probably guess why. But do you have a site? Do you offer prints with your own company?”
I'm not trying to heckle or be nasty. This person is clearly convinced that anyone who doesn't agree with her is some kind of troll. That is not what I'm about.
