Texas
I was contacted by a publishing company in Singapore who wants to write about my art in one of thier books. They emailed me and asked for 8-12 pictures to which i own the copyright, and a description of how we do what we do. My question is, do I need to copyright the photos of my art, and then just grant them permission to use the pictures?
Also, should i patent my art, so no one else can create what i do?
Here is an idea of what i do:
Create on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Hopefully you can help me see if i can tradmark the concept of it or what... I am at a lost and don't want to be taken advantage of, and like most artist, i am also starving and can't afford legal advice.
Thank you for your help!
