Originally commissioned by The New York Times, the 50 Years of Pride cover commemorates a seminal moment in history, The StoneWall Inn riots. Half-century ago, the police and patrons clashed at a gay bar, the Stonewall Inn, in Greenwich Village NYC. The riot poured out onto Christopher Street where now the pride colors intersect with the street crosswalk lines. That clash helped spark a movement that continues to this day. This was created to honor and observe the 50 year anniversary of that historic moment. The work draws inspiration from the pride colors painted within the Christopher Street crosswalk by turning them into a massive typographic 50.
