"We're very excited to announce this
partnership with Flickr because it's a great way to give millions of
very talented and enthusiastic photographers a seamless method for
creating or selling their work as fine art," said Kelly Smith, CEO and
co-founder of Imagekind.com. "Even offline, it's difficult to find a
trusted framing partner or the resources to create fine art prints, but
we make it easy. Our framing selection process is also a snap to use.
With Imagekind's virtual framing tool, Flickr members can choose
between a custom creation on canvas with a sleek mahogany frame or even
create a one of a kind collage frame using images from their Flickr
sets. Millions of options can be tested before buying with the click of
a mouse -- so buyers end up with a final product they love."
The alliance between Flickr and Imagekind supports the companies'
shared vision of further enhancing the online experience for
photographers and artists. "Imagekind already provides the best online
fine art print and framing experience with the most choices, and now
millions of Flickr members can create or sell framed imagery through
the Imagekind marketplace," said Kevin Saliba, President of
Imagekind.com. Interior decorators, wedding photographers, or people
looking to decorate their offices are all starting to realize that
custom framed high-quality artwork can be designed and purchased online
at reasonable prices."
