Return to David Zinn

Claude had a lot on his mind until he found a spider on his head.

I’m in awe of this man’s imagination and talent. He sees the spot on the left. I see it, too, but THEN he creates the picture and ‘story’ on the right.

Nadine and the Friend in Need

He sees the weed growing at the base of the building, and Nadine finds a friend.

Patricia did not expect her dressup day to be interrupted by musical accompaniment, but here we are.

Rudy is prepared at any moment to rain on your parade.

So far Benny’s summer has been all stick and no marshmallows.

I just love his work.

The World of David Zinn

When I see a yard, I imagine what it would look like with lots of flowers blooming all around, bringing color, wonderful scents, and joy. When David Zinn sees a sidewalk or a concrete wall, he sees characters telling their stories. I love spending time in his world.

“Clarence places small pebbles in festive boxes so they can feel special for a while.”
“Daisy’s Maxim – Sleep through the showers – Wake up to flowers.”
“Fergus has a knack for growing bright blooms in forgotten places.”

Creativity of David Zinn

Harold has extra space available in his well of worries.

Sheila is still adjusting to the pace of her walking companion.

David Zinn was a freelance commercial illustrator for more than twenty years until he picked out some sidewalk chalk to “work” outdoors on a beautiful day. Since then his work has appeared on streets around the United States and as far away as Taiwan, Sweden, Germany, France and Holland. He is the author of Temporary Preserves and Underfoot Menagerie and has been featured in The Guardian, Business Insider, and the Los Angeles Times, among others. Zinn lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.” ~ Google.com

I Love David Zinn’s Mind

He sees a couple of gum spots on the sidewalk.

I LOVE the way his mind works. That he has the talent to share his thoughts with us is a true gift for us. :0)

Time for More David Zinn

David Zinn Art

“Mr. Zinn is known all over the world for the art he creates under his feet. David’s temporary street drawings are composed entirely of chalk, charcoal and found objects. His most frequent characters are Sluggo (a bright green monster with stalk eyes and irreverent habits) and Philomena (a phlegmatic flying pig), but the diversity of Mr. Zinn’s menagerie seems to be limited only by the size of the sidewalk and the spirit of the day.”

“David Zinn has been creating original artwork in and around Ann Arbor, Michigan since 1987. For more than twenty years, he freelanced for a wide variety of commercial clients while simultaneously sneaking “pointless” art into the world at large.”

Imagination, Vision, and Talent

“Rabbit-ballet-requires-focus-and-willpower-because-the-tutus-are-delicious.” – chalk-art-by-David-Zinn-edited

I love the art created by David Zinn, but I’m even more delighted by his vision. When most people look at the place where the wall meets a sidewalk, they see the weed growing. The fastidious among us might bend over and pull the weed, or think that the weed should be sprayed with weed killer.

David Zinn sees a rabbit wearing a ‘delicious’ tutu, practicing a dance pose. And he stops to draw the sweet rabbit so that others can share his vision.

This is what makes me remain hopeful. I love sharing the same planet as a man who thinks like this.
