Made You Smile (12 Photos of Art by David Zinn)

From a fox wearing a plant to a dragon in a book club, David Zinn’s latest chalk creatures have taken over sidewalks, stumps, and stones across Michigan and beyond. This selection includes new works like Nadine and the Effusively Feathered Friend, Rudy Is Prepared to Rain on Your Parade, and Sluggo Preparing for Berkley Street Art Fest, each blending seamlessly with the real environment. You’ll meet Sluggo, Reggie, Nadine, Clarence, and a bear named Ursula—each popping up where you’d least expect them.
