Hear this: the billboard space at 14th and Valencia shall forever henceforth be known as Stamen Watercolor Billboard. Working with an anonymous benefactor, we generated what I think is the largest of our maps so far: 25 by 12 feet, big enough for our whole team to cavort along. It’s right down the street from HQ in the sunny Mission, which means it will probably last a day at most without being tagged or otherwise messed with, but for now it’s hopefully making the neighborhood we love and work in a little snazzier. Congrats to Geraldine and Zach for making work that can beautify a city street!
