(365) Days of Tumblr, Part One

Daniel Nelson — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:18:53 +0000

Eleven months ago Canadian designer Aaron Christopher Judd started a project called “365 Days of Tumblr“ where he posts a new image/quote everyday for a whole year. Now when the project is coming to an end he has picked the best pieces based on his personal and his followers favourites. In this first post of two he’ll share the favourites from the first six months. And the remaining six months will be published in the second post that will go live when the project is finished at the end of February.

In a time when more and more art is computer generated it’s very refreshing to see artists that, from start to finish, creates amazing artwork by just using their hands. One of these persons is Dana Tanamachi who’s a graphic designer and custom chalk letterer living in Brooklyn, New York. Check out Dana’s amazing work below and be sure to also check out her time-lapse videos of her creating the drawings, they’re sooo awesome!
