Legibility?
I have seen paintings with a scribble to impeccably typeset print signatures. Which is best? I have one signature, I call it my "Autograph". This is quick and effortless when signing checks or pastels. Then there's the legible one that I do for paintings and works that require people to actually be able to read the name. Any preferences?
I was also told once that if your name looks like a man's it would sell better. I once considered changing my signature on a few pieces to my middle and maiden name to read "Rene Fauteaux" to see if that made any difference in appeal.
I know an artist who signs her paintings with a "pen name" because she thought her name to be to blah.
