Statement Posters

There was a very popular statement poster a while back that said something like, “If you love something set it free, if it’s yours it will return, if it doesn’t it never was.” Or something like that. A reprise poster declared, “If you love something set it free, if it doesn’t come back, hunt it down and shoot it.” That’s not very PC, (I said it was from the olden days) but it was funny anyway.

Statement posters seem to be making a comeback. This time around we can all choose the sentiment that suits our personalities. A widely popular one (and I think the one that started the trend) is by fellow blogger, Victoria, who writes sfgirlbybay.

Her Keep Calm poster is sold on her Etsy shop and comes in lots of calm colors, measures 16″ x 23″ and sells for $25. Having a bad day? This is the statement poster for you.

Artist Jaime Derringer has come out with some rancorous sentiments that are perfect for those hormonally-challenged days. Her prints are created using professional pigment inks, measure 8″ x 10″, and sell for $18.

On a happier note, Anne Harwell’s posters might bring out the perky in all of us. (But I really love being right). Hers are printed with archival inks on archival paper, measure 11″ x 16″, and are signed and numbered by artist. The price is $25.

Finally, something for the little baby, or the big baby you love. Jennifer Ramos sells beautiful greeting cards on her Made By Girl shop, as well as her love poster. Feel the love. It measures 16″ x 24″ and sells for $25.

Do you have a favorite sentiment? Do you remember Jonathan Livingston Seagull?
