I am preparing to start selling A4 framed prints on eBay. Below are a selection of prints I am considering selling as a trial. If you cannot find a listing and want a print then please drop me an email and I can get a fresh listing up, or negotiate a direct sale. Payment and postage details are covered below.

  • What you get: Each picture is printed borderless on Kirkland Professional Glossy Inkjet paper (A4, 255gsm) using a Canon Pixma iP4200 printer using their ChromaLife100 ink for lab quality results.
  • Each picture comes in an A4 narrow bordered black frame (attachment to hang from wall but no stand). Please see below for a clickable sample image of a framed picture, and the caption as appears on image W001. The caption appears just under the frame in the bottom left corner.

  • Sample Frame

    Sample Caption from picture ref: W001.
  • Please click on the thumbnails below to see a 640x452 or similar sized image.
  • Prices: I have quoted the prices (in UK Pounds) that I expect to start at on eBay. Postage costs are in addition to the main price. Bid increments will be of £2.50. These prices are subject to change without warning.
  • Payment: This will currently be by PayPal only. Please only bid if you have a PayPal account.
  • I currently only support postage to the buyer's address. I will not accept collection currently.
  • Postage and Packing: Pictures will be delivered in their frames in a jiffy envelope.
  • At this stage this is all rather experimental. I would definitely appreciate feedback on whether people would be interested in purchasing any of these pictures or not, and any sensible suggestions.
