Artwork in tangible form is personal property. Transfer of title can therefore be made by a Bill of Sale. A Bill of Sale also constitutes a record of the transaction for both the artist and the person buying the artwork. It can provide the seller with a record of what has been sold, to whom, when, and for what price. The following form anticipates that the seller is the artist and therefore reserves copyright and reproduction rights.

Here are ways to authenticate your art: Create a handwritten signature. Be consistent about signing your work. Create a certificate of authenticity (COA) system. Documenting your process. Avoiding digital art theft. Cataloging your inventory.

Now turn the writing end of the utensil to the canvas or paper and scribble out a mark that could be seen as your name if you look close enough. Voila! You have signed your artwork. Hope this helps.
