    I think “attribution” might be more apropos than “advertising” when it comes to an artist’s signature. Of course the presence of an artist’s signature will advertise their authorship, but the signature’s purpose isn’t inherently trying to drive you to a website/patreon/whatever; it’s letting you know who put in the effort to make the art.
