easy sector!
We found a totally free watermarking tool that we wanted to share with you!
It's fun, easy and quick! What more can you ask for?
Check it out
http://www.easysector.com
"There are some other "free" watermarking tools you can find on the web, but in a fact - they are not really free, or not professional enough to create good-looking watermarks on your photo. For example - all online "free" watermarking services process 5-10 images per time, and if you need more - you need to pay. And if you will try to find watermarking freeware or open source - it’s just ugly. You will lose your time."

February is Black History Month and Sharp With Art Group wants to show love to our culture. Although February is a short month, for the next 28 days, we will be dedicating our fan page to Black History and culture and we are challenging you to do the same. Each day, we will post things related to Black History Month on our Facebook page! If you are our Facebook fan, we encourage you to do the same! We’d love for it to be BLACK History and ART Related! Whether it’s a picture, a Black History Fact, a poem, a piece of art, just post it and tell us why you choose that piece to post!
Since our blog is published weekly, we will feature our favorite items from our Facebook page to share with the world! We will also compile Photo Albums and Notes to showcase submissions! Post away!
Just our way of bringing awareness to a month that often goes unrecognized. It’s our job to educate ourselves and others!
