Spring is here, the insects are waking up, and in honor of the season I’m having a sale. If you’re looking for a gift for your graduating entomologist, this is for you! Click on the link to visit the gallery:
Thirty images, including fifteen chosen by readers, are now available as high-quality art prints at up to 60% off my regular prices, starting at $3.99 for a 5×7″. The sale started yesterday-we’ve already sold 20(!)- and will run until April 30th. International orders are accepted.
Now, some details.
I have partnered with Bay Photo Lab in California for printing. Bay’s color reproduction and paper quality is consistently excellent, better than I have been able to manage myself. In fact, I’m giddy every time prints arrive in the mail!
Bay’s options for mounting and framing are simple but good quality. I especially recommend the 3/4″ standout mount for the 8×12″ and larger prints. The mount has the effect of turning a photo into a museum-quality piece, and if you order a number of prints you’ve got your own gallery.
Paper choices are lustre and metallic. Lustre is standard, high-grade photo paper. Metallic is contrasty and luminous with more “zing”, and they are… well, metallic. Whites come out as silvery, for example. Personally, I find the effect a bit too much for most photos. The metallic papers perform better for a subset, such as the metallic beetle and the ants on black.
I am happy to sign prints for an added $25 (potentially more for international orders). Allow an extra week for delivery, as the print must be shipped here before I send it out. To order a signed print, just send me an email and I’ll put your order in.
Do let me know if you have any questions.
Lovely selection, but isn’t there another payment method other than with a credit card?
Hi Levent. The default is by credit card, but if you email me (alwild [at] myrmecos.net) we can arrange an alternative.
Thank you very much, the email is on its way!
This is exciting! Methinks I may have to get me one of them Cephalotes clypeatus…
Although I also love whirligigs. Hm… so many choices!
Yay, early birthday present for me! 🙂
