It's early days but we will reply to enquiries with quotes depending on the size. Canvas printing is slightly more expensive than printing on paper but the paper prints are great quality also. The images have been designed to blow up nice and large and if you happen to live near to Manly we can suggest a great framer who will offer a discount to all 'Stanley...' related prints. email [email protected] for a free quote, don't forget to mention the size and material you'd like it printed on.

09.01.2022 The Great Ferry Race coming soon!! Work on book 3 'The Great Ferry Race' is progressing nicely. The story is one that we hope our fans will find very exciting, many of our favourite characters return and a couple of new ones find themselves in the spotlight!! On Australia Day every year thousands flock to see the excitement as four Sydney Ferries get all dressed up and race their way around the harbour! James Whiley has put together a fantastic character driven story with... a strong positive moral. As usual, extra special effort has gone into visualising the artwork to do James text justice. Were confident that the artwork in this new book will be the strongest weve published to date. We are on schedule for a November publication date. Fans of the series may be interested to know that we intend to produce some new merchandise for Christmas, in particular, mounted prints of the artwork from the books which will be ideal as stocking fillers and will fit into standard frame sizes. Look out for a Stanley The Manly Ferry Christmas card also!! Book 1, Stanley the Manly Ferry is now available on Amazon.com, as will book 2 (Whales in Sydney Harbour!) be very soon. Were hoping that 2012 will be a huge year for the Ferry Tales and its fans. Watch this space!

Although untitled, the 'threequel' is all but written, we have sketched the storyboards and plan to move ahead with the artwork over the coming weeks.
