Artist David Zinn<\/a> 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 \u201cpointless\u201d art into the world at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His professional commissions included theatrical posters, business logos, educational cartoons, landfill murals, environmental superheroes, corporate allegories and hand-painted dump trucks, and his less practical creations involved bar coasters, restaurant placemats, cake icing, and snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, thanks to the temptations of a box of sidewalk chalk on an unusually sunny day, Mr. Zinn is known all over the world for the art he creates under his feet.\u00a0David\u2019s temporary street drawings are composed entirely of chalk, charcoal and found objects, and are always improvised on location through a process known as pareidolic anamorphosis<\/a> or anamorphic pareidolia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of Zinn\u2019s creatures appear on sidewalks in Michigan, but many\u00a0have surfaced as far away as subway platforms in Manhattan, village squares in Sweden and street corners in Taiwan.\u00a0He has achieved global notoriety\u00a0through sharing on\u00a0the pages of\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>, Huffington Post, Graffiti Art Magazine,\u00a0Bored Panda<\/a>, Central China Television, Street Art Utopia, and Archie McPhee\u2019s Endless Geyser of Awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s menagerie seems to be limited only by the size of the sidewalk and the spirit of the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
