Street Artist Proves That a Little Chalk Can Bring a Lot of Magic to the Block

I don’t know about you, but for me, one of the coolest things to come out of the pandemic was people being forced to find new (distanced) ways to connect with friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers who cross our paths on a daily basis.

Companies found new and innovative ways to find customers, education systems had to revamp to reach out to every willing student, and even artists unearthed brilliant ways to continue to connect and inspire the public.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, David Zinn does street art with chalk – on brick, concrete, or whatever else will take – and the images stick with people, long after they’re washed away by the rain.

Below are 16 images that will make it easy to see why once you’ve seen some of his work, you aren’t likely to forget it!

16. Francine is going places, y’all.
