Art Friday: David Zinn


The lazy leaf racker

Artist: David Zinn

Temporary sidewalk artist, illustrator, poster artist, logo designer

David Zinn is one talented man and does many different styles of art - today I want to share just one style - his "temporary street art" because it is wimpiscal, makes always make me smile (and even chuckle at times) and not your standard street art. 

According to his website "David is a self-taught artist with a B.A. in Creative Writing and English Language from the Residential College of the University of Michigan. He has taught creative writing, scenic painting, and theatrical makeup design, performed in and directed several Gilbert & Sullivan operas, recorded audiobooks, and hosted two children's radio shows (The Rug Rat Revue on WCBN-FM and The Mud Pie Cafe on Michigan Radio). David is also a passionate sidewalk chalk artist, an avid whistler, and a haphazard ukulele player."

David Zin does most of his street art, posters and illustratrions in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
