Should you’ve walked the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the previous couple of a long time, you’ve most likely noticed the wide-eyed monsters and mischievous dragons of David Zinn (beforehand). Since 1987, the artist has been drawing chalk-and-charcoal creatures in site-specific works that wash away with the rain. Drain pipes develop into robotic canines, a pillar morphs into a large pencil, and a inexperienced monster pops out of a brick walkway.
A brand new quick movie directed by Jonnie Lewis dives into Zinn’s observe by animating his signature cartoon forged that greets the artist as he walks across the metropolis. Watch “Across the Block” on Lewis’s Vimeo, and take a look at extra of Zinn’s eccentric creatures on Instagram. (by way of Laughing Squid)
