The Ultimate Contract
Unsigned contract "You, (your name here,) herby grant the entire, complete rights to everything you've ever thought, made, or done to Acme Co., in perpetuity and throughout the Universe that leads to a whole new non-Universe place; or it somebody invents a time-stopping machine so there's no longer "perpetuity," or if everything falls into a black hole and nobody knows which end is up and we're all dead anyway so who cares, we'll STILL own the rights, so stop you belly-aching, sign or don't sign, but GROW UP, THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS, PAL.

The premium giclée print is produced on thick (310 gsm), textured watercolor paper made from alpha cellulous wood pulp that is acid free. It shares the same vivid colors, accuracy, and exceptional resolution that make giclée prints the standard for museums and galleries around the world.
The premium photographic print is digitally printed on high-gloss premium photographic paper. The result is a unique silver pearlescent finish with stunning visual impact and depth, suitable for museum or gallery display.
The stretched canvas print is the result of sophisticated digital printing technology in which the image is printed directly onto an artist-grade, 100% cotton canvas. The canvas is then expertly stretched around 1.5" wooden bars and carefully finished with hand-painted edges. An acrylic coating protects the stunning giclée print from dust, moisture and fading. (Canvas may not be available for all prints.)
