Tree Shadows pencil drawing

Tree Shadows pencil drawing - Regina Burchett

There are image search websites you can use to see where Your images (drawings/paintings/photos) might appear other than your own website – but a week or so ago, I discovered that Google now has an image search of their own:

http://www.google.com/imghp

Here, you enter the URL of just the image, not the page that contains the image. For example, on my website, all of my images are stored in a subfolder titled “images”, so the direct URL to a sample image is:
http://www.fallshadows.com/images/2%20treeshadows.jpg

Then click on “search images” and Google will find all the websites where that specific image appears.
I found a few of my drawings out there, and have asked the website owners to provide a link back to my art website in exchange for using my image.

Comments are welcome!

    Very interesting. I found a couple of people using my images, too. Thanks for the info.
