Adventures Of Chalk Characters: 90 Street Art Pieces By This Artist (New Pics)
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 wish these were painted instead of done in chalk... they deserve to stick around.

I don't think the city allows you to paint on their property, they're selfish asshats

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 didn't know pups drank coffee, but now that I think of it, it would explain a lot.

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 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 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.
