In reply to Diane Fairfield. Thanks for your comments. Being able to distinguish yourself as your artist brand is important. So finding a way to display your name uniquely is a good idea. Just because you share a name with someone else is not a reason to lose your copyright, but you can check with a copyright lawyer if you need further assurance. Regarding FAA's Terms and Conditions, you would need to contact the vendor with your request for a plain speech explanation.

I have an odd problem I discovered when I posted images on Fine Art America and discovered another artist who has the exact same name as mine Diane Fairfield, then I Googled the name and found another artist producing art I don't even like and her name is also Diane Fairfield. I want to start posting more images but I think I will have to a "stage name" a pen name a "nom de plume". I am considering using two last names, my own and my grandmother's maiden sir name. Fairfield Goodman. There is an artist I greatly admire Fairfield Porter, who died in 1975. Then my next concern is loss of copyright. But if I only post images designed for interior design or that would work well as prints or on various products, and if I have any protection at all ?? Not sure. Terms and conditions state I could not post on any other website ? Or sell the image through any other means ?? I would really like a plain speech explanation of the terms and conditions.
