Question
If you could direct me to where I can get info. on art done on a computer using a computer program. Can this be copyrighted if its original.
You might try down loading either paint.net or gimp - the first
is a slightly extended version of pc paint and the second is prety
much a full featured graphics app like photshop or paintshop.
you can find both at cnet.com for free (there is also an extended
version of paint.net for $$$'s). Both use a lot of memory and need a prety decent computer to run on. i just use pc paint for my dif=gital dablings.
As regards copy write-ing - you can copy write digital, it's
just easier to copy. the only way to make money (as i can humbly
tell) is to print it on good paper (eg, Revees BFK, Canson StonHindge,
etc. then you can mail works using mailing tubes...
good luck!

Expertise
I can (possibly) answer questions regarding art history, technique, theory, and the occasional quandry. In addition to drawing and painting (mainly with acrylics these days), i know a bit about printmaking: Intaglio (etching), relief, offset, transfer and some things about photography. I also use a welding torch to "draw" in metal and then pound the sheets flat and print them. I pretty much "live" in 2D (and much 4D (time); but, 3D is just sort of "thick" version of 2D to me;)
Experience
As an artist I [sic] have shown my art work in both open and juried shows. I have an extensive background in both studio and cultural studies in art and related areas. I currently hold bachelors and master degrees in art and technology.
In addition, I write extensively on "art theory". And I'm fairly good at mixing paint.
