For a limited time, save 25% off “Planet Farmland” — the fine art print by Lar Matré … and get free shipping as well.

The 25% off applies only to the selected prints, and not framing. But the framing at Imagekind has been recognized for superior quality, while typically costing less than your local framing shops.  I highly recommend having Imagekind mount the print in a simple, gallery-style frame, such as the one I suggest below.

Here are the details to remember:

1. Promo code KIDS2008 must be entered at checkout.
2. Promotion expires October 14, 2008 at 10pm PDT.
3. This promo cannot be combined with another promo code.
   
4. One order per customer.
5. More details available at the site.

NOTE: This promotion has expired, but there will be more. Register on my “First-to-Know” list and be notified of all future promotions. Never any spam, your privacy is assured, cancel anytime.

For a very limited period of time (in this instance, just until late tonight), I will reduce the price of this specific print by 50% … no matter what size is purchased. I can only control the price of my print, not the cost of the frames.

But what I can do is run my print specials to coincide with framing promotions. And that’s what I’m doing right now.

Until tonight ONLY, September 23 at 10PM PDT (1AM EDT), Imagekind is offering 20% off custom framing, and I’m offering 50% off The Business District (pictured above). Although Imagekind has over a million framing combinations, I prefer straight gallery framing — and that’s exactly what you see here. A black wood frame, with one off-white mat. The mat sizes I specify are wider than most people are accustomed to, but that’s what you’ll typically see in galleries. What also balances my mats are the sizes: three sides are equal (left, top, and right) but I always make the bottom mat just a bit wider.

50% off the print and 20% off custom framing — you must enter discount code FALL2008

This page will provide needed information.

My Wheelies design, which goes back to 1982, is still one of my most popular sellers.

I did some new designs for organic vendors at Farmers Markets — FarmersMarket.com — allowing customers to identify the different types of growers, and their methods.

And lastly, there’s the “i sin !” design.  It was originally an idea I created for racing, as the letters are an acronym for “it’s speed I need.”  But that didn’t work out well, and some folks said I should do something else with it.  So, for now, this is something else.

I came to realize that it is appropriate for anyone to wear, since there is no one in existence who is free of sin … or so I’m told.  So, I created two versions: one which simply says: i sin ! … and the other which includes a tag line just below it: AND SO DO YOU (for those who like company).

But since you are one of those sinners, buy a shirt and you will be cleansed.  Currently, I’m working on a bulk quantity discount for the Bush administration.

As always, they come with a 30-day, money-back guarantee if you do not feel saved.

They are available through CafePress.

I’ve added a few more prints to my Imagekind gallery store, some which have never been seen publicly before (you can click this image to see it larger).This is an example of one of those. I captured this image in January 1981, while spending about a week walking all over Manhattan, for the sole purpose of capturing the city as I saw it.This photograph was taken inside the main area of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. On display is a structure from Egypt, disassembled there stone-by-stone, then reassembled in the great room of the Met.

Please take a moment to visit my gallery at Imagekind to see my other new additions.

All who have purchased my prints from Imagekind have had nothing but praise, not only for the quality of the fine art print, but equally for the quality of the framing, as well as the extra effort taken to package it for shipping.

Everything carries a full 30-day, money-back guarantee. Today would be a great day to buy yourself a gift.

The first selection of my prints are now available online through Imagekind.com — one of the most-respected services of its kind on the Web. You can order just a print or have Imagekind frame it exactly the way you want, at extremely competitive prices.

And for each of my photos on Imagekind, I have a recommended mat and frame combination to make it easy if you simply like what you see.

Since I meticulously prepare each image before I release it to print, I am beginning with the most popular images from my Flickr account, and from other sources. If there is any image you are interested in now that is not yet available, please write to me and I’ll see about pushing it up next.

How This Began

About two years ago, I began researching gallery-quality, fine art print fulfillment services on the Web. These are very specialized services, and different than the many digital print-makers online, such as Kodak, fotki, dotPhoto, etc. The digital print-makers crank out 4×6-inch prints all day long, and that’s what they primarily compete against with each other.

You can’t even get 4×6-inch prints at Imagekind. Their smallest print size is 10″ and the largest is 60″ in length. But it doesn’t stop with the print — that’s where it begins. You can just order a print, but you’d be missing out on the benefit of the whole package. They make selecting a mat and frame effortless, and do it at very competitive prices.

Gallery fulfillment, at least what I call it, focuses on high-end, museum-quality prints, using a method of printing known as Giclée (pronounced: zhee-clay). Giclée prints, displayed behind glass (or acrylic) and away from bright light, can have a life span of 150 years or more. For a museum, that’s important. A Giclée print looks at least as good, if not better, than a high-quality, photographic print. But compared to photographic prints, a Giclée can be printed on a huge variety of papers, fabrics and even canvas.
