Ward Parkway designed a set of 28 stickers, labeled The Urban Absurdist Survival Kit™. I searched for these years back and I was pretty sure Ward had a website with these stickers in higher resolution, but now in April 2020, I instead found 1) a
Wikipedia page for Ward Parkway, a boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, United States, near the Kansas-Missouri state line; and 2)
copies of the stickers, scanned from the
Handbook, included in
Swankivy's Shenanigans, a very 1990s website.
Above is my own, hastily cleaned up copy of the first six stickers, digitally clipped out of
the Internet Archive copy of HMHB. You can do this, too! Get yourself
a free photo editor that can adjust brightness levels and you can clean up those scans right quick. Or just get the pictures from Swankivy and make your mark on the local corporate landscape.
If these images aren't enough, do your own thing with
a free vector graphics editor, because it's 2020 and there are a range of free programs that allow you to be the mischief you wish to see in the world, at least when it comes to stickers.
As for the International Press Association pass, the black-and-white card may not cut it now, but luckily there's a whole website dedicated to Microsoft Word ID Card Templates, and specifically
press reporter IDs. And if you really want to jazz it up,
generate your own QR codes and replace the code the "MobileApp" code included.
