David Zinn is a talented artist from Ann Arbor, Michigan, known for creating fun and playful chalk drawings right on the streets. His artwork often features quirky little creatures that seem to come alive by using cracks and marks on sidewalks as part of their bodies. These drawings are temporary, made with chalk and charcoal, and they disappear with the next rain — making each piece a special surprise for anyone who happens to see it.

Over the years, David’s unique style has captured the hearts of people all around the world. Whether near his home or in faraway places like Sweden or Taiwan, his charming street art brings a bit of joy and imagination to everyday spaces.
