You are clearly very good at what you do and it is wonderful that you love and enjoy doing it. I for one always enjoy seeing your artwork when you post it. I also must admit I chuckled regarding your apology about the watermark thinking of course you have it on there. Why would you ever post your time and work to the internet in a way where anyone could grab it and lay claim to it. My bet is 99%+ of us understand that and just enjoy seeing it.
Man, I really appreciate that! It’s funny, when I’m talking to folks in person about my art, I always mention that I was that kid in school doodling cars in the margins of his notebook paper. That’s really where it started for me. It didn’t hurt that my dad was an collector of old cars, so much of our lives was spent going to car shows, car clubs, tours, etc. I grew up with old cars in my life. But one thing I learned from my dad was to only have one or two. My dad had as many as 30 old cars in various states of repair, and it can definitely become overwhelming. He rented a building and people’s garages to store some, and kept one in my grandmother’s garage since she didn’t drive. Man, when he passed, it was a lot of work (and pain) for the family to sell all that stuff off! 😮
The watermark thing? Well, you see I’ve posted a few here without… mostly because I just didn’t have watermarked versions of that particular art. But I have had at least one instance of finding my art online with my signature removed. I dealt with it, but it’s not an enjoyable thing to have to take care of. Rather unpleasant actually.
