Chalk Artist's 3D Characters Help Him "Appreciate Every Single Place'

David Zinn creates chalk art that appears to be 3-dimensional by marrying his drawings with things like grass, manhole covers, and cracks in the sidewalk. He worked as a freelance commercial artist for over 20 years, but a box of chalk called to him. But because of rain, footsteps and sweeping, seeing one of Zinn’s whimsical drawings up close is precious. If you come across one in one of the many cities around the world where he works, Zinn thinks you should consider yourself special.
