RE: Dealing With the "Business End" of Being an Artist
This is a great post. Now, I sign all of my pieces or work on the back, to keep from obstructing from the actual painting. In your opinions is this a bad move? should I just find a spot to scribble a quick initial or something?
SIgning your work on the back is fine @honeycombwinnie-- quite a few artists do. It seems more common with paintings on canvas than pieces on paper which are more commonly with a pencil signature on the front, at the bottom of the image. If you sign your work on the front, be sure to leave what we call a "framing margin" (1-2" or 3-5cm) so your signature doesn't get hidden by a frame or mat.
