Dana Tanamachi is a New York-based graphic designer and professional chalk letterer who recently completed a project for the Ace Hotel in New York City. The project resembles a vintage-inspired movie poster or old advertisement for a circus. The chalk installation reads "Free Admission for Those Who Dream" for an unnamed matinee showing of something.
The work by Dana Tanamachi is extremely precise and it appears as if she used stencils to assist in its completion. However, as the video demonstrates, the work was done entirely by hand. Dana Tanamachi is known for her flawless and customized chalk lettering and her personal website contains other works that are equally as impressive. Check out the video that documents Dana Tanamachi while she creates the beautiful chalk display.
