Study Task 5 - Copyshop

I've been posting my art online since late 2015, but I've only recently seriously invested time and energy to making my brand. 

My main internet art place is Instagram, where I've been posting quite a lot. Although there are a few, personal, unprofessional aspects, such as the highlights, I don't mean to monetize this account yet. 

 

I use my Instagram as a documentation of some sorts, where I experiment and mess around with things I find interesting.  

I even went so far as to make a pie chart of my Instagram posts!

Instagram has standard U.S copyright rules, so I can only post artwork I've created as long as they don't violate Community Guidelines. However, this doesn't stop people from "reposting" artwork or posts... but I don't really find reposting (with credit to me) annoying...

I also occasionally post collaborative artworks with other artists on Instagram, but I make sure to ask for permission and credit them in that post with their social media handles:

I also post artwork on Newgrounds, but I initially used it as a platform to participate in competitions. Newgrounds focuses much more on animations and storytelling, unlike Instagram which is slightly more diluted. 

Newgrounds makes it clear which Creative Commons license you want to use which I find quite helpful. 

I don't really feel the need to watermark my work, as I am not making money off any of it (due to visa restrictions) but I do occasionally sign the bottom-right of my art pieces. 

UPDATE:

I have since updated my Instagram, and made a separate personal account (I also did this with my Twitter):
