personal message from steve

I'd like to extend my personal gratitude to everyone who has purchased one of my photo prints as a means of donating to the Mick Karn appeal. Together we have managed to raise a substantial sum for the appeal. The option to donate via the imageshop remains in place. Thanks for your kindness and generosity. Steve Jansen

imageshop announcement

Due to a rise in the production cost of photo prints as well as in the postal services it will be necessary for a price increase at Steve's imageshop. The current price per print (including p&p) will rise from £125 to £150 taking effect on 01.07.10.

Mick Karn Appeal

Mick has been diagnosed with advance stages of cancer and an appeal has been launched at his website to help raise funds for treatment and care. View here

In an effort to help with this appeal the proceeds from any Karn portrait purchased from Steve's collection will automatically be donated towards it. You may alternatively elect to purchase one or more of the other photos in the collection and state that you are purchasing as a means of donating to the Mick Karn appeal and this will be processed in the same manner.
