20 kind street remakes from David Zinn (22 photos + 1 video)

Usually in the off-season, city streets reveal their shortcomings. After heavy rains, potholes appear on the asphalt, steps and sidewalks, and the hot sun and hail make the plaster crumble and destroy the brickwork.





How to deal with these small but annoying imperfections is well known to an artist from Ann Arbor, Michigan, named David Zinn.



David Zinn

His professional work has included theater posters, company logos, educational cartoons, murals, eco-superheroes, corporate allegories, and even hand-painted dump trucks. But he also has a personal side, creating beauty using coasters, rugs, cake icing, and even snow.

Zinn has gained worldwide fame thanks to his street art, which he creates using chalk, charcoal, and random objects literally under everyone's feet. He turns imperfections into virtues. Never works according to a plan, improvising on the spot through a process known (in fact, almost unknown to anyone) as "ephemeral pareidolic anamorphosis".

The works are short-lived? Yes, so what. They are photographed, appreciated and preserved as a small ode to the goodness and beauty that our world so lacks.
