However, whilst I sympathise with signing on paintings and agree that it is a good thing if discreet, why do artists put web addresses overlaying ? If you want put them tiny and not breaking the picture, but they can't be clicked [ yet ], and not one person in a 1000 will write them down to paste in as an URL...

Because some stupid people would edit out artist signature and stuff. Web addresses are rather hard to edit out, but I'm sure some would stll do that.

Actually this URL is very usable. The functional part is just "DAV-19", and both tumblr and deviantart are popular sites that many people probably already use regularly.
