The other day I was ordering office supplies and was considering which white board to get when I started thinking “Whatever happened to chalk boards?” I remember using them all the time in grade school, but they seem to be a novelty these days. Dana Tanamachi’s large-scale chalk installations take me back to those good ol’ days when I lived for recess, 50 cent popsicles after school on Wednesdays, and the joy of getting called on in class to solve a problem on the board.

Her bio says she is a full-time custom chalk letterer — could you imagine how fun it would be to say that at cocktail parties?
