Hi David,

That's me making a silly mistake then. I did assume a median price of $50 
per print, but somehow lost a zero.

30,000 * $50 is of course $1,500,000. Not $150,000 as I wrote.

T/o of $125,000 year then, and overheads would likely be less than the 40% 
I assumed, with that kind of volume.

So I am impressed, and fascinated that this is (still) possible. That's a 
probable profit ~GBP 60k, which would be firmly in the top few percentile 
for income among UK pro's.

My apologies to all for the misdirection.
