Imagekind.com Enables Online Framed Art and Photo Sales for Flickr Community

SEATTLE, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagekind.com(TM), the world's fastest- growing online community for creating, buying, and selling physical artwork from digital files, today announced a partnership with Flickr(TM), one of the world's largest online photo sharing communities, to create commercial framing services for Flickr members using the Flickr API. Flickr members can now order affordable framed prints of their digital images on the widest variety of fine art papers and canvases, in a matter of seconds. Flickr members can also offer their framed images for sale, earning commissions on every print sold -- all thanks to Imagekind's innovative marketplace of member-contributed artwork.

"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."
