Description

By purchasing a WOO SEE-MING ‘INSTANT FILM PRINT’, you agree to receive a random print that WOO SEE-MING will choose for you. The pictures in this product listing are mere examples of what you could receive. As firm believers in freedom of choice, we wholeheartedly believe that we have all the freedom in the world to choose for you.

Each print is:

• captioned by the artist, in typewritten or handwritten form;
• signed on the back;
• accompanied by a miniature double-sided certificate, bearing the handwritten title of the print on one side, and signed and dated by the artist on the other;
• and stored inside an acid-free, semi-translucent, glassine envelope.

Each print is unique. We may decide to reprint the same photo, but the handmade nature of each item — which consists of applying captions and using colourful language as we deal with glue and paper and sticky fingers and messy typewriter ribbon and permanent markers — means that your print can only be a one-of-a-kind item. Add to that the fickle, capricious, nature of the artist who may decide to re-caption the print or deface it in some way that’s confusing, bordering on baffling, with a touch of nuttiness — and yes, the print you purchase will be unique to you. Special, really. Just like you.

We use FUJIFILM INSTAX WIDE film to create our prints. The film size is 86mm x 108mm (~ 3.5″ x 4.25″), with an image size that is 62mm x 99mm (~ 2.5″ x 4″).

WHY WE LOVE INSTANT FILM PRINTS

Polaroid or Instax or ‘instant film’ as it’s called — we’ve never been able to toss one out into the garbage. Never.

We don’t know why — but these prints, even when unwanted, will end up in a drawer, or a box, or anywhere that isn’t the trash bin. Believe us? Don’t believe us? Buy one and see for yourself.

*SOME NOTES ABOUT INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING

SHIPPING TO THE USA

We’re sorry, so very very sorry that we can’t ship to the USA. We feel absolutely gutted to be in a position where shipping to Antarctica is easier than shipping to our southern neighbour. (Really, it is.) But if you’re in the USA and really really want to order something from us, contact us and we can see what arrangements we can make for you. Chances are, though, that it will be the most annoying, expensive, and hassle-ridden transaction the world has ever seen!

SHIPPING TO THE EU (EUROPEAN UNION)

We use our national postal service, Canada Post, to send all shipments. As you may, or may not, be aware, depending on your specific country, your national postal service may not accept inbound packages from Canada. Why? Google is your friend, so have fun looking up that topic. The situation is constantly shifting, so if we run into any issues when trying to ship your order, we will contact you and either refund your order or, if you wish, offer an alternative (and likely hugely expensive) shipping method.
