Time for Typography

While browsing Chapters, I strode over to the art section, as per usual. I picked up a book on Typography called "The Little Book of Lettering" and flipped through it. The subject has caught my interest lately as I have been helping my sister to design her wedding invitations. Each double page highlighted the work of a different artist.

Two artists stood out to me. I memorized their names in the store--Dana Tanamachi and Liam Stevens--so that I could look them up when I got home.


DANA TANAMACHI


Dana starts with a blank chalkboard and draws out the rough shape. She erases, draws, erases, draws, erases, draws, until she gets it looking just right. She does a final coat with permanent chalk. Her education is in graphic design and she lives in Brooklyn, New York. Watch her work here, here, and here.

It reminds me of the style of writing at Death Valleys Little Brother, which I posted about back in December.



LIAM STEVENS


Liam is a pencil and paper enthusiast. He is an image maker and designer in London, England.
