As with all Rabbits Road Press commissions, the selected artists would be expected to donate 5 posters for our shop/archive, these would be printed in addition to their 30 free prints. If artists wish to, they can sell some of their own posters through our shop at our normal commission rates, there is no obligation to do this.
