Introducing the Graphic Artist category of Artist Armor.

We’re building Artist Armor because the creative world has stopped protecting the people who power it.
Artists are demanded to show up and create, while their work is copied, scraped, reposted, and stolen—often without credit, permission, or protection.
Our founders knew Artists deserved better.
They set out to build a platform and marketplace designed to let creatives share, sell, and protect their work—without compromising their safety.
We’re launching with Artist profiles designed for four creative groups. In the last article, we shared that Writers were our first category. The next is Graphic Artists.
Artist Categories: Graphic Artist
As a graphic artist, you’re an illustrator, concept artist, digital artist, graphic designer … you’re anyone who creates art digitally.
Before Artist Armor, you may have posted your art on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest or somewhere else.
Little did you know that with every upload of your diligently, painstakingly created hard work, that you could end up being scraped and stolen. The majority of Graphic Artists worry that their works has been reposted or sold without credit.
But now, you have Artist Armor.
Now, before you upload your art to the Internet, you upload it to Artist Armor where:
It protects important metadata, to prove its origins.
It posts it a low rez, to make reproduction hazy.
A copyright shield watermark is added, so others know it’s protected.
You can generate an audit trail report, to see any documented message threads or to know if anyone has viewed your work.
Right-click is disabled, so others can’t download your work without your permission first.
Protects against AI scrubbing. (more details coming soon).
Plus, our most revolutionary feature yet, the image is stored in thousands of different pieces on our secure cloud server, so it can’t be copied in a process called Chunking.
But that’s not all.
We know you want to make a career off your art, and you deserve to. When you upload your art to Artist Armor:
You have a fully built out storefront, secure messaging, and reviews.
You can enable the Verified Human-Made crest, so buyers know you’ve put real blood, sweat, and tears into it.
There’s ID Verification for anyone who wants to buy or share your art.
This is Artist Armor.
