Poster Child Prints is the web’s first comprehensive site with a singular focus on selling affordable, high-design friendly prints.
The just-launched online gallery offers limited-edition screenprints made exclusively for PCP, with an artist roster that ranges from David Weidman — the octogenarian illustrator who created Mr. Magoo in the ’50s — to Taki 183, the kid from Washington Heights who became famous for graffiti after being outed by the New York Times in 1971.
Poster Child founder Sonja Teri first started her “wishlist” of over 100 artists while working in publishing at Swindle magazine. Using a model popularized by Shepard Fairey, Teri tapped into a population of enthusiastic street art fans who can’t necessarily afford an original piece selling in a gallery for $20K. Instead, avid print culture has developed an online community where aficionados and amateurs alike can buy and trade artist’s prints like baseball cards.
Get updates on the Poster Child blog, shop for prints, sign up for weekly emails announcing new artists, and become a fan on Facebook.

Love the bear print at the bottom! My mother will like it two, i will order two!
Really? The first site to do this? That's quite a claim flavor.
It's a nice site, though I'm not sure that it'll replace http://justseeds.org/ for me, the pre-first site dedicated to affordable high falutin prints.
Love this site and had to order tbd*. Those hypnotic eyes grab you and don't let go. Please keep them coming Sonja!
On what planet is $60 an affordable price for a poster?
This is a limited edition signed and numbered print, not a Pink Floyd poster you put on your college dorm room wall. Art is an investment.
