On the Cover of New York Magazine: It’s Time (to Vote)

More Americans than ever are voting by mail this year. Millions more are voting early compared to the last national election. All of them deserve their “I Voted” sticker.

So, in collaboration with the nonpartisan organization I am a voter., New York Magazine brought together 48 artists from a diverse array of backgrounds and influences to design stickers for a series of four covers for our October 26 issue — with 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. Each magazine cover will feature images of 12 sticker designs with a corresponding peelable sticker sheet on the inside.

Plus: If you’re not a print subscriber, this special issue of the magazine is available for individual order. Get copies for the voters in your life, and make sure to tag us on Instagram when you wear your sticker whether you are voting by mail or voting early!
