How to cheaply copyright your artwork

Masters of Anatomy Reference Book Highly Recommended

Great anatomy book I just picked up from mastersofanatomy.com. The book takes up over 100 different gorgeous and have them drop the same person in multiple views. It’s really cool to see all the different styles applied to the same picture. Highly recommended.
