copyrighting your work.

without going in to great detail, i have been working
on licensing stuff these days, and in one of my contracts
it reads that i have to copyright all the images being used.

!!!  freak out here !!!

all i could think was, 
THIS IS GOING TO COST A FORTUNE!!!  ugh....
(i mean i won't even make a dime on any of this
for over a year, and now i have to pay a small
fortune to protect my work).  lordy,
what next?



anyway...  this is where the good news comes in.
my agent (the lovely miss sheila meehan) came across
this blog post which basically says you can submit
your work in bulk.  in bulk!  how awesome is that.
(thank you Art Licensing Blog for this more
than helpful tip)

so what i thought was going to set me back,
now is setting me back 35 buckaroo's.

nice...  right?

    I copyright an entire year's worth for only $35. I was thrilled when I discovered that too.

    Why is it you always seem to get the old heart stopping news, before you get the...it's no big deal afterglow?

    @ tera... i agree. even now that i know the how of it, i am putting it off. it seems like such a big thing, and i am sure it is a little bit of nothing more than getting organized!
