About Us

            Cliché Posters LLC is owned and operated by Ian Cox and David Pricco. We are both college students at the University of California Santa Barbara.David studies Business Economics and Ian just completed his degree in Psychology.

            We started Cliché Posters in the begining of 2007 after realizing that despite our being friends with many incredible artists, the only posters we could find to buy for our apartments were lame, boring, and horribly clichéd. How could this be? There is certainly no great shortage of unique art in the world. And given the number of artists that we personally knew, why was it that none of their art, or art like theirs was available for sale?

            We started this business as a means of bridging the gap between new artists and the poster industry. As college students we were surrounded by a whole community of innovative painters, illustrators, photographers, and digital artists. This combined with our collective psychology and business backgrounds had put us in the perfect position to help out our friends and the artists that we were close to. Our goal was simple: help artists market their work, and in the process, help people find cool new art.

            The art that you hang on your wall is an expression of who you are. There’s more to most of us than can be expressed through Scarface, Bob Marley, or painfully cliché posters of beer. Some of our personalities span a bit beyond sports cars and farts. We don’t all have the money to collect original paintings. For the rest of us there’s Cliché Posters.
