David Zinn’s Quirky Chalk Cartoons Spring to Life in a New Short Film



If you’ve walked the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the last few decades, you’ve probably spotted the wide-eyed monsters and mischievous dragons of David Zinn


Since 1987, the artist has been drawing chalk-and-charcoal creatures in site-specific works that wash away with the rain. Drain pipes become robotic dogs, a pillar morphs into a giant pencil, and a green monster pops out of a brick walkway.


A new short film directed by Jonnie Lewis dives into Zinn’s practice by animating his signature cartoon cast that greets the artist as he walks around the city. Watch “Around the Block” on Lewis’s Vimeo, and check out more of Zinn’s eccentric creatures on Instagram

Jacki, I love David Zinn's creatures. They always make me smile - that's very good in these serious times.
And I also love music, it's part of my daily life. But I didn't know all of the 15 facts I found here on your blog - learned something new.
My brother Wolfgang will come home from the hospital maybe tomorrow. I'm so glad we met we he was still better. He lives too far away for frequent visits so we regularly chat on the phone. Thanks for thinking of him too, Jacki. That's so kind of you.
