You know there is many people who post their artwork in their website hoping some company will hire them, but won't that become easy access to art theft? Or is there a way to actually prevent that from happening?

there are measures you can take, but it's always going to be possible to rip the art

Patent them? Maybe? Is that what it's called. Where you can take things you have invented and keep it from being stolen.

Watermarks work wonders. It's always a possibility, but sometimes, it's worth the risk for a certain artist.

There's way to protect your artwork. From watermarks to EXIF file information (metadata tagged onto a file with important information- it's what music files use as well).
