By popular demand: “Think” bumperstickers return!

Posted July 27, 2007 at 8:51 am — Filed under:

Update: The giveaway is over, but you can buy a bumpersticker at the Walker Shop online for the low, low price of three bucks apiece. Get one…

Several years ago, we joked about making a t-shirt that read, “Conceptual Art: It’s the thought that counts.” Instead, when we set out to promote the exhibition Global Conceptualism, we ended up making bumperstickers with a similar punchline: “Think about honking if you [heart] conceptual art.” When I blogged about the stickers last year, we got a dozen comments and even more direct emails asking us to do another print run.

So: voil!

With a design fine-tuned by Emmet Byrne, we recreated the stickers and will make them available for sale at the Walker Shop soon.

But the first 25 commenters here can get one mailed to you for free. Just leave a comment, using your real email address (it won’t be visible to the public). I’ll contact you to get your snailmail address.

I was going to post a comment about thinking about posting a comment, but it made me feel like lying down.

I love this bumper sticker. It made me rethink what I initally was thinking. If that makes sense. I can’t wait to put this on my Scion xB.

I promise to let you know how many “honks” I get anyway…

Comment by Allison — July 27, 2007 at 11:31 am

Yes please. It’s a rare thing for me to actually want a bumper sticker. That means something. I think.

Comment by Katy Connors — July 29, 2007 at 3:43 pm

Darn! Just imagining how nice it would look in that Santa Monica solar parking stucture.

(Great sticker btw..)

Comment by Ben — July 30, 2007 at 10:08 am

I’m thinking I’m afraid I’m too late (oh please make an exception!)…

Are they available in the Shop?
