Dave's Picks | NYTMag | ‘I Voted’ Stickers for Everyone Who Needs One
A New York Magazine collab with 48 artists.
Hey kids look: Stickers! Super cool VOTING Edition!! And please, I know you know but DON’T SIT THIS ELECTION OUT. We need all hands ON DECK.
From NY Mag:
Perhaps you’re voting by mail this year. Millions of Americans are doing so, more than ever before, and many of them for the first time. What these voters need is I VOTED stickers. And so New York, in partnership with I am a voter., asked 48 artists to design them. The cover of the October 26 issue of the magazine will be converted to a sticker sheet, featuring contributions from Shepard Fairey, KAWS, Barbara Kruger, David Hammons, Laurie Simmons, Amy Sherald, Baron Von Fancy, Marilyn Minter, Lorna Simpson, Tawny Chatmon, Rico Gatson, Zipeng Zhu, Adam Pendleton, Adam J. Kurtz, Zaria Forman, and many more. There will be four different covers, each with 12 stickers — enough that each reader can wear a different one daily, from publication through to Election Day.
Dave's Picks | ICYMI — Banksy's London Tube Artwork
In the ongoing saga of whether to mask or unmask in the age of a raging pandemic. We found this Banksy video post capturing the work in progress (and ensuing development) fascinating to say the least.
So you know, all of us in Speak to Dave Land falls squarely in the former camp. Wear your masks, people. Stay safe, be kind, be smart and remember, the name of the game is staying alive!
