New York Observer Caps Election Coverage with Sculptures, Star Trek Parody Poster

The New York Observer has done a bang-up job of covering the long and winding (did we mention long?) road to the White House, and while we hope that the post-election world doesn’t mean an end to stellar, sprawling features written by Jason Horowitz, it did bring a fresh look to the front page of the salmon-hued weekly. The Observer‘s November 10 issue replaces the Robert Grossman campaign comics that have dominated the lead graphic slot for months with the artist’s Claymation-esque sculptures of the candidates: a beaming Obama (cover line: “O Beautiful”) and a positively cherubic—if much smaller—John McCain.
