From San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Jose Herrera comes news of the Bayview Merchants Association’s Third Street Corridor Project – how would you like to earn $6000 just for creating 6-10 iconic images illustrating the Lower Third?
Get all the deets below. And after you get paid, be sure to forward ten percent to me, your new agent. (Affirm our agreement by reading this sentence - welcome aboard.) But get cracking, as your first deadline is March 22nd, 2010.
You can’t win if you don’t play!
Introduction to the Project
The 3rd Street Corridor project is searching for local artists to create a series of 6-10 iconic images to represent the Bayview Hunters Point District of San Francisco. These images will be stylized illustrations of local landmarks that capture the spirit of this part of the city and will be used on a series of street banners and other collateral such as T-shirts. An example of a similar campaign is artist Michael Schwab’s series of prints for the Golden Gate National Parks.
Final selections for scenery will be communicated to the artist at the time of the commission. These scenes may include:
- Bayview Opera House
- T-Line
- Quesada Gardens
- View of Downtown from 3rd
- Shipyards
- Candlestick Park
- Local Art and Murals
- MLK Municipal Pool
- Bayview Library
- Industrial Buildings
Candidate Selection
The ideal candidate for this commission will be a local artist who lives and/or works in the Bayview Hunters Point District of San Francisco and can bring his or her personal style into the project and offer an authentic view of these neighborhoods. The artist must also be able to work within the established color palette of the 3rd Street logo (red, yellow, green and black- see samples for reference). To be considered for this project please submit three (3) JPEG images of your past work that best communicates your style. If you are selected as a finalist you may be commissioned to create one sample illustration before the final contract for the rest of the series.
Compensation
The selected artist will receive a $6,000 stipend for the final series of images. Artwork and reproduction rights will become property of the Third Street Corridor Project. In the event that finalists are asked to create a sample illustration as part of the selection process then they will be compensated $500 for their time.
Application Deadline
To be considered for this project, please email three JPEG samples of your work, a brief description of your background and a written statement of why you think you would be an ideal candidate for this project to bayviewmerchantsassociation@gmail.com no later than
MONDAY, MARCH 22, 12:00pm.

See?
These buildings look like boxed-up presents under the tree the way they’re lighted during the holidays.

Red tailed hawks don’t mind people a bit, it seems. Check out this critter as s/he patrols the airspace above Market Street for vermin and varmints:

Well, here it is. After all kinds of stress and strife, the University of California, Hastings College of the Law parking garage / multi-use building in the Civic Center / Tenderloin area (aka Little Saigon) looks done from the outside.
Soon the legal eaglets at the largest and oldest law school in the West (yes, older than vaunted Boalt Hall across the estuary in Berkeley) will be able to easily descend from their nests at historic 100 McAllister or the “Book Concern Building” to get to their small German cars - without hogging up spaces at the Civic Center Parking Garage (aka Victory Garden Basement).
Note the “sickly green tiling” put in by the Vanishing Construction Workers of San Francisco County.

It’s up… and it’s good! Three points for UC Hastings.

Yesterday was World Diabetes Day, so San Francisco City Hall was lit in blue, (or purple, or lavender, or whatever) last night.

Now back in the day, it was easy to see construction workers on the job. All you had to do was look up through the I-beams and see them walking around. Those were the days, see?
But these days, due to changing construction techniques using concrete, rebar, and whatnot, you need to get above the workers to see them at labor. These folks are mostly out of view after the first floor gets done. Here, they work on the third floor.
Pretty soon, you wont see the cars of UC Hastings Law School students and staff clogging up the parking spaces of Civic Center and Little Saigon thanks to this new mixed-use building that’s still going up.

The other problem with seeing these people at work is that these jobs are drying up lately.
Good-bye construction workers of San Francisco. See you again in a year or two?

In the left corner we have One Rincon Hill, South Tower, standing 641 feet tall. Compare that with the “New Sheriff’s Facility” jail (the “glamour slammer“) on the right.
Which building is better?

“I–my idea, when we started out was to have a, you know, rising up, in the form of an undulating, ovulating ground that you don’t get so much nowadays.”
