Poster Boy is a 2004 gay-themed drama film. It toured the gay and lesbian film festival circuit beginning in 2004 before a limited theatrical release in 2006.
Poster Boy is a decentralized group of vandals. Since the beginning, Poster Boy has remained anonymous and refuse to sell or sign any original work. The collective's work focuses the principles of Hip Hop, specifically the element of Graffiti, by limiting almost all work to improvisation. Using only a razor blade, Poster Boy creates satiric collage-like works created by cutting out sections of the self-adhesive advertisement posters in the platforms of New York City Subway stations, and pasting them back in different positions. Poster Boy is also referred to a 'Poster Boy movement' where other people produce similar unsigned work in the New York City subways imitating this original artist. Even after their first arrest, of Brooklyn resident Henry Matyjewicz, the collective remains active online and on the streets.
One of Poster Boy's work is featured in Banksy's 2010 documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop.
Poster Boy's work was also included in the retrospective street art show "10 Years of Wooster Collective" at Jonathan Levine Gallery in 2013.
Poster Boy might refer to:
- Poster Boy (street artist), the pseudonym of a famous graffiti artist active in New York City
- Poster Boy (film), a 2004, gay-themed film
