8 Amazing Posters, Less than $145 (COMBINED!!!)

So, Tricia just completed her AMAZING series on poster artists (see all the poster party posts here! scroll!). I’m not just saying they’re amazing because they’re on Stickers & Donuts. They actually ARE amazing. From the posters, to the interviews, to Tricia’s hysterical pop-references (if you only looked at the pictures seriously go back and read the posts!) — I loved every bit of it! In fact, I was jealous of the superiority of Tricia’s interviews to some of my recent posts. (A pink laptop bag? Come on Maria, you can do better than that in the midst of poster interviews! Although, it is a pretty sweet bag…)

That being said, I love all of these artists and am going to squish on into the fun with my two cents (slash 142 dollars).

There was one small problem with Tricia’s posts. She made me want to purchase A MILLION PRINTS! After a little research, I soon learned that I COULD own a poster from each artist for less than $145 (plus shipping & framing, see the receipt I invented below). As you can see from the image above (posters not to scale, frames from my favorite free stock photography site), this is a really good deal. If you have a new apartment, you might want to consider decking-out your place in these guys.

Below are the EIGHT poster-party prints I choose simply to prove that you can own art, and it can be lovely, and it can not cost you hundreds of dollars! Go, look!

The poster TITLE will take you to a page where you can purchase the print. The artist or studio name will take you to Tricia’s interview with the artist!

Yellow Zilla Monster (top or bottom) by Tad Carpenter
$15, 11″x13″, 3-color

Only $15 for either the TOP or the BOTTOM (lots of other monsters to chose from, and you can mix-and-match if you please!). If you want the top AND bottom, it’ll cost you a mere $25. (I am putting this on my birthday list! I HOPE it doesn’t sell out!!!)

An Albatross by The Bubble Process
$12, 12.5″x19″, Four Color

Blog Reader: Typo. You said it cost $12.
Maria: NOT a typo!
Blog Reader: FABULOUS!

Polvo by Leia Bell
$15, 12.5″x17″, 5 Color Screenprint

If I had a child who could not yet make personal-preference-type decisions, I might frame this and put it on his or her wall.

Mondo Generator, Like Hell by Mike Klay
$15 (includes shipping!), 11″X17″, digital print

Turquoise is my favorite color and I love cute skulls, so this was a pretty logical choice in my book.

Spoon by Ghost-Town Studio (so, as I discovered when I read Tricia’s post, this specific poster is actually by Pete Cardoso’s partner-in-crime, Darren Johnson, but they’re on the same team, yes? Some of Pete’s posters are a mere $20 as well).
$20, 16″x23″, Four Five-color

Colors! Colors! Old fashioned lady!

Jenny Lewis with The Watson Twins by Large Mammal Print
$20, 18″x24″, Screenprint

Colors! Colors! Old fashioned lady! (Analyze this: I like the two posters above for the same reasons, but they’re both very different.) I feel like if I put on some 3-D glasses, this fancy girl would pop-out at me.

Islands by Mike Laughead
$20, 18″x24″, Two-Color Screenprint on 100LB poster paper

Cute? Evil? Not sure. But if you want to think about it as it hangs on your wall, you’ll have to make your purchase quick because apparently there are only a few left!

I was going to include an entire guide to frame-buying, but that will just have to come later. But believe me, you will be really happy if you frame your posters. You’ll feel like an adult. And if you are an adult, you will just be confirming your adulthood, in a good way.

Thanks to Tricia & all of the artists for being present on my blog these past weeks! Wasn’t that fun!?
