Many thanks to everyone at New York and photographer David Harry Stewart!
For the cover, New York asked me to create a hand-scripted version of the word, "love", which was then made into a 90-foot-long, 65 piece "decal" that was assembled on the Bryant Park ice rink in the midst of late-night skaters. It all happened on Saturday, December 8th, when it was photographed from the roof of the Verizon Building on 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue by Vincent Laforet.
Be sure to check out tthe New York Magazine website to see a time-lapse video of the installation process. It's another great issue from the good folks at New York.
Many thanks to Jody Quon, Chris Mollomo and the entire staff of New York Magazine! Thanks also to The Pond at Bryant Park presented by Citi, ID&A LLC, and Verizon.
