I've heard a lot of people recently slamming on younger artists or those with less developed talent who sign their work. I was ALWAYS taught from a very young age to sign everything I did. Purposely signing my work, so I knew when I drew it, was just normal to me. Nowadays I sign my art incase it goes missing on the internet and somone tries to steal it- which has happened to me regularily too. Back in school we always had to write our names on our art to identify it.

I really don't 'get' whats so bad about it.

If someone would care to explain for me?

Signing you work to me is fine weather or not you are younger or your skills are developed. There is nothing wrong with claiming your art as your own.
