Dana Tanamachi

Did you happen to catch the chalk mural that provided the backdrop for the dinner party in the ”Group Participation” story in Issue No. 10? It was created by a friend of the hosts, Dana Tanamachi. Dana is a graphic designer who launched her own design and lettering boutique. Her chalk murals have been widely featured, and for good reason.

While I was browsing Dana’s portfolio, I was especially impressed with the series of time lapse videos she’s captured of her work taking shape. I would have thought Dana put the completed work up in one step, but she actually starts with a chalk sketch that she erases and refines until the mural is perfected. It’s fascinating to watch!
