There’s only so much most of us can see when looking at basic pavement. Not David Zinn, though. This talented artist is from Ann Arbor, Michigan, and is well-known for his chalk-drawn pieces on the streets. His drawings follow the adventures of random adorable characters and are very popular among David’s more than 600K followers on Instagram.
In a previous Bored Panda post, the artist told us: "The honest truth about my art is that I am inspired by the absence of perfection as a possibility: between the irregularities of the stained concrete and the limited hours of available daylight outdoors, perfection is blessedly not an option. Instead, there is just the lunatic joy of finding the most satisfying option that exists within those limitations." Scroll down to see the newest work by David.

I love that he they broke the chalk and shaded it so it looks like the chalk is behind the little green dude's foot...MAGIC
Oh my gosh, I never would've noticed had you not said something! Neat!
Load More Replies...Just look at those yes!!!!!! DUN DUN has become a liquid pool now
I once had a poorly bred little poodly mix with a tail that looked just like that.
I wish these were painted instead of done in chalk... they deserve to stick around.
I have a cat who would be trying to open the hamster ball... like a canned snack.
How is this just with chalk? I can’t even draw this good with multiple pencils and rubbers
Looks like one of those things at the bank- like, “I WOULD LIKE 234 BUCKS” “okay, maybe when pigs fly”
I want to know what that is on the plate...almost looks like a ginger woodchuck.
I didn't know pups drank coffee, but now that I think of it, it would explain a lot.
I have a Christmas ornament that looks a lot like this little flying pig.
The thimble flowerpot does it for me. I LOVED the Borrower books when I was a kid, and how they 'borrowed" thimbles and buttons and other tiny stuff to use.
🎵 I want adventure in the great wide somewhere...i want it more than I can tell...
I think I am too old... I can't imagine sitting on pavement long enough to draw all those bricks, not to mention sleepy bear.
I’ve seen these online before and I absolutely love them! So imaginative and amazing perspective.
I've been following David Zinn for around 5-6 years now, he's amazing. And I love what he sees in everyday things (pareidolia) - his vision has helped me see more creatures in my home & outside. I buy his calendar every year & I've saved all of them - one day I may get around to framing the pics! I also have several of his prints too. I would love to collect everything in his shop!
How wonderful must it be to have the gift of making random people smile all the time?! These definitely left me happier than when I started looking at them. I want several of these for around my house.
These are so amazing! I want to see these on cards or something. I need all of them. They just make you feel good!
Imagine walking down the street and one of these guys appears - pure joy! The one's peeking out of the walls are my favorites.
This artist should be illustrating children's books!! HIs pictures have so many stories to tell.
