Marc,

Looks like there could be (at least) two ways to do it...
The ImageDraw class allows you to draw onto an existing image like so:-


im = Image.open("gnome-mixer.jpg")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.text((5, 5), "SOLD", fill="black") 


I have not investigated how (and if) you can rotate the text - I know you can 
change it's font etc...

The second way would be to paste a SOLD image onto the original image

im = Image.open("gnome-mixer.jpg")
im.paste(Image.open("sold.jpg"), (5, 5))
