Hi Gail, I use Behance and always put my name on my work, usually in the bottom corner. I personally don't like big watermarks on my work, but that's just my preference. My agency won't use watermarks of any kind in their artist's online portfolios. I'm not a fan, but it's an unfortunate reality of my representation. *Sara Lynn Cramb* Educational Illustration Graphic Design View my portfolio at *saralynncreative.com* <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__saralynncreative.com_&d=DwIFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=AGYZ7-AeerjxzYnIwL-lBLFI3SPYN3BDmku4qGQB4Tg&m=uQQFTQW_ronsb7nulnhDkbl8_p7lKeTVKacS-ALfBAA&s=GBxhfPB7vk6oQZHNvkN11Vt-DJFW4ctC4Ot5VTkOabY&e= > Support my work on *Patreon* <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.patreon.com_saralynncreative&d=DwIFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=AGYZ7-AeerjxzYnIwL-lBLFI3SPYN3BDmku4qGQB4Tg&m=uQQFTQW_ronsb7nulnhDkbl8_p7lKeTVKacS-ALfBAA&s=ukMAt_VgnDNGA8Ff9n82xWJnDv_oSVFKI5ZSFANfa5g&e= > On Mon, Sep 30, 2019 at 4:43 PM Gail Guth <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > thanks, Linda - I am amazed that there just aren't any watermarks on all > that artwork on Behance.
