this came to me via recomendations , sometimes recomendations are good . i love how attentive the children are with this and watching. one can learn outside of school. i call these life experiances . good show on mr . zinn.
Thanks for he comment on the music, if there is one thing that people don’t like about the video it’s the music that I used, this was a very early video of mind and if I had to do it all over again, yes I would change the music but to be truthful, I believe it is not that bad.
I have been admiring your chalk art for years. I have pinned it in interest and download images to my phone for backdrops... Keep up the great work. Now I have a name to go with the Art. :)
Looks likes characters from a lovely children's book. I can definitely see Sluggo telling a ghost, or monster story. As in reality one listener is scared while another is interested but not scared. The dinosaur, or dragon is the scared part of us inside despite attempting a courageous exterior, especially with kids.
David you had very good idea, wonderful idea,i found very suitable place for you,it malaysia penang island,this place crazy like what u draw , combination with natural environment and art... appreciate to u...i know u from bbc news.
What an amazing art.. 👌👌 When you start this project no one is there in the middle some people & children gather & when it comes to near end so mani children, paraents & people came there to watch your art & thats the secret of life that when yor start new & different thing no one with you but when yor dream come true with real time & you work is owesum then everyone comes to appriciate you & wist but till the time you have to keep petions... thanx David Fimm for this.... 👌👌👌👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Das ist so bezaubernd und ich hätte so ein fantastisches, entzückendes Gemälde sehr gerne an einer Wand in meiner Wohnung.......natürlich vom Künstler höchst persönlich gemalt. Ich koche auch was feines......😊😉😂😅
I know this is an old video, wonderful by the way! Hoping you see this. What gloves are you using? I'm trying to search online but no luck on which gloves are best for blending. Thank you.
A couple(ish) suggestions. - Go buy a red & white checkered picnic towel & turn your chalk stick into a bindle stick (fill it with chalk?) - Whenever someone (kids mainly) make a 'worthy' suggestion, have them sign their first name below the drawing. Man, I fucking LOVE your art.
@@KashiGirl911 Ya, I see that, but think how cool for a kid to have his name on the sidewalk because they suggested something like "that dinosaur needs a hat..." then he draws a hat (cause, duh, it clearly needed a hat). This guy's work rocks. I LOVE it.
@@davidannett3322 Dunno why he's making life difficult for himself using that stuff, it would be easier to use sticks of compressed charcoal; although the line IS subtly different, I guess the 'natural'- type sticks might be more in keeping with his style.
As a chalk artist myself, I can fully appreciate what you're doing. Except I always feel secretly annoyed when little kids stop and look and ask either, "What're you doing?" and "Can I help?" What's it look like I'm doing? I'm making art, lol. Then you have to politely explain you don't need help and PRAY they go away.
OtterloopB kids are much better listeners, and understand better than most of us adults. (It took me 8 years to find this video)...much respect to David and his art :-)
I used to do this for pocket money in Ireland back in the '80's/early '90's by putting down a hat. I rarely made more than beer money doing it- if that! Although I did occasionally get lucky doing a portrait of the crucial goal-scorer in a vital soccer international, say, or portraits of big rock-stars doing stadium gigs in town. I had a couple of mates though who consistently made very respectable money doing pavement drawings- so much so that they were able to (or forced to!) sign off unemployment assistance. (The 1980's recession cut deep in Ireland, especially in my hometown of Cork with a number of big industries folding.) These lads combined a very savvy approach, joining forces to produce enormous 'extravaganzas', with well thought out subject matter, ie no 'modern art', nothing 'political', or controversial... Cutesy stuff, mostly- Santa Claus at Christmas, Easter Bunny at Easter, etc., Chocolate-box type landscapes, occasional religious pictures on the appropriate holidays, and so forth... This 'tactical' approach, with their undeniable talent, of which they genuinely had bucket-loads, meant that for a year or two they were able to make a living, albeit a somewhat Spartan one, from their drawings. Of course, Cork being just an 'average-sized' kinda burg, got- well, played-out, I suppose, (to the chagrin of some of the other pavement artists) and my friends found that the law of diminishing returns set in. Besides, it was never the kind of thing that could be a viable alternative to regular, waged, employment, given how dirty and how hard on the joints it was; and what with the unwelcome attention of both cops AND robbers! Not to mention what was always, in the British Isles, going to be the biggest obstacle- the RAIN! Somewhat dispiriting to spend hours doing a drawing only for the skies to open as it finally nears completion- particularly as it is only as the drawing nears completion that the public start to open their purses or rummage in their pockets!
Thanks for the video. I do digital chalk drawings for social media for @la_tia_b and I'm eager to improve by adopting some real-world techniques. Thanks again!
Love the footage and the subject! Have been a ZinnArt fan for many years. I'd like to suggest changing the soundtrack to something a little more lively and a little less sentimental. His work is playful and fun not sappy.
Lástima que no es pintura, porque se borra y que belleza de pinturas. Yo le llevaría lienzos y oleo para llenar mi casa de sus cuadros, o, le daría para que en cada defecto de las paredes o piso de mi casa pintara algo. Aunque sea en una hoja de papel mándeme algo don David. ¡ por favor!!!
Sad part is knowing, if he was a black man, none of his art would be seen because the cops would not only not let him do his art, but likely arrest him and try to send him to prison. And as outlandish as this comment may sound, fact is , its all together true. sad but true.
@@DavesTVZone And as a "black" man and artist/ animator i know it all to well. which is why i made the comment. Your work is so amazing. uplifting, a little blip of joy that people find their way running into during their day. And as i watched, i placed myself in your shoes, and i instantly knew the outcome, and the truth, that all it would take is a change in skin complexion, and for most cops (not saying at all that it hasn't happen at all to yourself, as some people are just universally jerks! lol, but you and i both know, the sad truth. keep all the factors the same and just make a change in the complexion and all that wonderful art is no more, At least in most places. And its so sad, both from the point of the artist as well as what's lost in the process. Every piece of art is a tree of who's branches reach out to so many and in the process, bares fruits in peoples lives. And yet some especially those in power who's hearts are full of envy and hate would readily seek to stomp out any gleam of light especially if it doesn't come from those they deem to be worthy of admiration and praise.
Thanks for the feedback, good, bad or indifferent they are all appreciated, you know I have over 1400 videos on my channel so maybe there are one or two that you might like before you leave.
everything about this was so wholesome thank you
I really enjoyed this, and I shared your video with some of my elementary art students. They were inspired!
Glad to hear you enjoyed the video, and we always love inspiring future chalk artists
Omg kneepads! Brilliant!!!
this came to me via recomendations , sometimes recomendations are good . i love how attentive the children are with this and watching. one can learn outside of school. i call these life experiances . good show on mr . zinn.
@Ryker Reign the fuck u bots are everywhere
So worth the watch.
So it looks like a combo of artist charcoal vines, soft pastels, and regular old sidewalk chalk! love it!
Enjoyable side walk art. Nice music to listen to , watching you draw.

I’ve been looking at this guy’s art off and on online he’s amazing
Great explanation of how our brain works around anamorphic. Fascinating!
I love how little kids gather and get closer as the image progresses
I appreciate how you said that as it's temporary it takes the pressure off...
David we just discovered you and appreciate your style of works ..Keep up the super great job! Doug & Sharon
😊😊❤
His art is so mind blowing!
David Zinn ... you are amazing. What an imagination!!! Keep us fascinated!!!

I wonder if he ever illustrates children's books? Would be a good way to make money, and he's very good at it obviously.
he is a an illustrator, so I would say it he would take that work.
❤

Love the part where a little boy is captivated with you!
Wunderschön !!! Es berührt die Seele weil ganz deutlich zu erkennen ist das es vom Herzen kommt!
Even I love pencils and charcool too.
FANTASTIC!!
Lo que mas me gusta de el esque no pone su sombrero en el suelo en busca de dinero
You’re so humble! Such amazing talent!! Wow!!!! My eyes are like sluggo right now lol 👀
Das ist so bezaubernd und ich hätte so ein fantastisches, entzückendes Gemälde sehr gerne an einer Wand in meiner Wohnung.......natürlich vom Künstler höchst persönlich gemalt. Ich koche auch was feines......😊😉😂😅
You are a big Master genius!
So relaxing to watch.. and amazing to see the results.. it's nice to know that, somewhere out there.. there is 'this'
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love This!
You AMAZE me! I think you are AWESOME! I give you an A+++!
What a cool guy, thank you for sharing these amazing videos.
Thanks for the comment, hope you check out my other videos from the TOP.
Teach me. I must bring this to my neighborhood
I know this is an old video, wonderful by the way! Hoping you see this. What gloves are you using? I'm trying to search online but no luck on which gloves are best for blending. Thank you.
I just saw him next to the YMCA
Ahh.. that thing is an eraser!! Brilliant :)
What a nice guy! Great drawing. Watching this in pandemic - just showed up in my feed. ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
I love your chalk art. I want them to last forever. To me you are awesome. Have you ever published any art?
love it
Great fun. Thank you
At first I thought that you were drawing an elephant, but it turned into a very cute dinosaur. :3
You don’t see much of this in Seattle for some reason. 🤔 😂
i love this, can i ask what type of glove you use, i tear up the tips of my fingers, get raw.
Why is it that I get all emotionnal-like when watching this?
wow so nice streets of michigan I wana go there
I love watercolor. Could you draw a Black Cat? And I can borrow My Black Cat' name, Merlín. He was My beloved furry Cat. Greetings from México.
The charcoals come off ok then? I was worried that they might stain more than a chalk, which easily washed away.
They have to be soft pastels if they are oil pastels they will not come off that easy
A couple(ish) suggestions.
- Go buy a red & white checkered picnic towel & turn your chalk stick into a bindle stick (fill it with chalk?)
- Whenever someone (kids mainly) make a 'worthy' suggestion, have them sign their first name below the drawing.
Man, I fucking LOVE your art.
he doesn't add signatures because he wants the objects to appear as if they are something existing in the environment :)

WOW
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
…brilliant
hey not to far from me. are you always in ann arbor? id love to come see some work if i visit the area again this summer
👏👏👏👏👏
5:37 That kid he drew almost looks real!!
That’s funny.
What are you using for your black lines?
Looks to me like artist charcoal "vine and willow"

Ooh, what a grump!
Get them involved. Collaborate!
Sir, I for the first time used sidewalk Chalk, J
Had only about ten colors of
Look how many people there are watching this!
It was a vey good crowd at the end.
What is the black medium used here .

Thanks Nancy, I’m glad that you liked it.
Dave’s TV Zone I love it. Much much
Lov guy always. Keep it up.
I appreciate your gift
i think i heard this same soudntrack when i was at my local chinese restaurant while eating my food
That made me laugh, at least I hope you enjojed the visuals, ha! ha!. Thanks for the comment Eric.
Great idea! Will need to go to dollar store to pick up some rubbing gloves.
LIVERPOOL AND ANN ARBOR
Nice sir 🙏
I’ve never encountered charcoal on a stick so....
Thanks for the video. I do digital chalk drawings for social media for @la_tia_b and I'm eager to improve by adopting some real-world techniques. Thanks again!
(most popular guy in Ann Arbor)
Defacing the sidewalks is not vandalism? No...it is art.
he's defacing nothing.. it's chalk.. it just washes away in the rain!? #scrooge using wrapping paper is also not defacing a gift :p
are you defacing the sidewalks when you leave footprints after walking through a puddle? get over yourself!
@@KashiGirl911 May I do 'art' on the side of your house? It will wash off eventually.
@@frankblangeard8865 in chalk.. sure.. have at it!
@@frankblangeard8865 it's a white house.. perfect canvas for you.. Just let me know when you've been.. so I can take pics before it washes off
He could spray the finished artwork with a sealer so they would last longer. Of course
the city may not like that.
He really likes it when they re only visible a short time.
I think the city would be just fine with it. If I was in charge, he would be on the payroll with as much chalk as he wanted
pencil. 2:09

La que más me gustó fué el gato en la pared y la de la piscina.
I would think it would be hard to be introverted and work with that many people around you, and interacting with you..
Hes my grandpa
Be is
I mean he is ?
You should definitely write and Ilustrate books . You will be bored with sidewalks but your art should be lasting.
Why did you have to fuck it up with the music??
Ugh what's with the cheesy 80s background music?
Disturbing muzak - like in nearly all videos on youtube.
Ahhh muzak, it’s really some obscure new age but I still appreciated your comment.
15:54... the best part of the video
Michelangelo would appreciate your talent and execution! Great!
