Not exactly prints, but she had a show here in 2005. Might be worth a quick email to see if they can steer you in the right direction.
Also has a "print" as part of the Daniel McGowan Benefit show.
Think those are the only ones I've seen.

Swoon's also featured in the upcoming issue of Art Prostitiute, and it includes a 15"x15" offset print. Mark Ryden's also in it (with a print), so the pre-orders seem to be going pretty fast here. Bear in mind that the Art Prostitute inserts are usually folded.
The four prints that come with this issue:

Well...I recieveved an email the other day teling me I had to renew my subscription, which I keep forgetting to do. Thanks for reminding me.
I've ordered a lot of things from them in the past and always been very happy. I do know thew moved there offices from Austin to Dallas, so they might be a bit disorganized. Also, since it is a quarterly, I forget I have a subscription, and I'm nicely surprised whem it shows up.

I think most of her stuff is in the $8,000 range. Some of her pieces were recently acquired from MOMA, so she is definitely in demand.I have only seen one of her prints and that went for $200 recently on ebay. We may see some prints coming out from soul out studios soon, just a hunch.
I definitely like her style, her classical training definitely shows through in her execution.

Her work is very hard to come across besides the streets and most pieces stay in collections. one print of hers in an edition of 250 has been floating around and can be had for about $300 - $350. I saw an original on wood the other day which was around $3500. I have a large cache of her work if you are interested in it, just pm me

I was very suprised that there wasn't very much interest in Swoon's Just Seeds print, which was discussed here:

My brother actually picked up one of these when they came out. I haven't asked if he has it or not yet. I'll stop by my moms house and see if he has it and take some pics. Hell he might even want to sell it *hint hint Robotoil*
I'll let you all know.

I grabbed one of these based on that thread. The print turned out smaller than I'd expected, and because it is only a cropped section of a much larger piece, you lose some of the context. That said, the lines are great, and it does give a nice sample of her style. Great paper and deckled edges help make up for it diminutive size.
Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help.

If anything, street art is the MOST LITERAL FORM OF ART! if street art has made any negative impression on society today, its that it has made every 13 yr old with $100 and an eBay account into an art know-it-all.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the heads up. Swoon is an important artist and this is a really cool piece. I was only charged $250 at checkout which is much more reasonable for an 8x11 but it 's for a charitable cause anyway.
