30 Street Drawings From Artist David Zinn That Turn Ordinary Sidewalks Into Clever Little Scenes
A walk counts as a productive activity until you stop to look at something. Then you become the person blocking the sidewalk. Sorry, everybody. There’s a little drawing down here, and I need to appreciate it right now.
David Zinn makes the kind of art I’m happy to hold up foot traffic for. His street drawings turn ordinary sidewalks into clever little scenes, giving people something fun to stumble across while they’re out doing errands.
I like that somebody puts this much effort into making a stranger’s afternoon a little better. Most of us are just trying to get through the day.
Finding a little sidewalk art along the way is a pretty decent bonus.
