Street Artist’s 3D Chalk Illustrations Are Really Great

I’ve seen a lot of chalk art on the street and on sidewalks lately when I’ve been taking walks, but I’ve never in my life seen anything quite like the chalk art of a man named David Zinn.

He creates really cool, 3-D chalk art of little creatures and animals and he uses the street as his canvas.

He describes his work this way: “Street artist specializing in small-scale, improvised and (mostly) light-hearted chalk art.”

Let’s take a look at his art.

Be sure to check out Zinn’s book on Amazon, as well!

1. The Sandbag Bandit.

Even though he’s a bandit, you have to admit that he’s pretty cute.

2. Happy birthday to you!

The owl even has a cake for you.

3. He loves me…

He loves me not…

4. Look what I found.

You never know what you’ll discover.

5. This must be the place!

Use your time wisely!

6. Looks like a good spot.

To kick back and relax.

7. Lost in a foreign land.

And trying to navigate your way through it.

8. I love this one.

One cookie per day.

9. Two good friends.

Just taking it all in.

10. Love is love.

And you can see it on display in this drawing.

11. The tools of the trade.

When pigs fly…

12. You have a new buddy.

Enjoy it!

Zinn’s work is really great, don’t you think?

Now we want to hear from you!

‘Harry Potter’ Face Mask Shows the Marauder’s Map When You Breathe

If you’re a “Harry Potter” fan, then you probably know the Marauder’s Map, that magical document that revealed all sorts of hidden passageways and secret compartments at The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and beyond.

Harry received the map from Fred and George Weasley during his third year at Hogwarts and it proved to be a game-changer.

If you’ve always dreamed of having your own Marauder’s Map, you’re in luck. And you can even wear this version on your face.

The face mask starts off as a dusky black color. But once you put it on and start breathing into it, it slowly unveils the Marauder’s Map. So cool!

@coloradopex

I am the maker of the mask 🖤🖤🖤 #mask #hp #artist #smallbusiness #magic *checkmeouton FB ***CPEX

The map is the brainchild of Colorado artist Stefanie Hokashou, who works under the brand name Colorado Pony Express. As you might imagine, as soon as she posted this magical map face mask on TikTok, people lost their minds and started scrambling to buy them from her. So, yes, they’re sold out. Hokashou is working furiously to make more, no doubt.

Here’s how the map works. It features nontoxic heat-activated dyes. When the dyes reach 82 degrees, the mask color changes from black to reveal the map.

Hook also makes plush dolls, slimes and custom orders. She’s also into art quilts, cosplay/wearable art and dragons, according to a Facebook group she runs.

She also made some other really cute types of masks:

Just imagine — this artist’s career is likely skyrocketing right now because she created this innovative face mask. People sure love their “Harry Potter” merch!

Have you read the “Harry Potter” books? Watched the movies? Which is better?

Artist Creates Awesome Portraits of Animals That Like to Get All Dressed up

Ryan Berkley creates a lot of different illustrations, but I have to say that I’m a huge fan of his pieces that feature animals dressed to the nines. We’re talking about all decked out in style.

They’re funny and, more importantly, they’re really well done and are a joy to look at.

Let’s explore some of his work! And be sure to follow Ryan and his wife Lucy, who are residents of Portland, Oregon, on Instagram.

1. Cat with a turtleneck.

I love it!

2. Looks like an elder statesman of sorts…

A very important figure.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4V–KmhXDE/

3. Punk Rock Cat.

Got the look down 100%.

4. Dressed to the nines.

The pug looks a little bit worried about it…as all pugs usually do.

5. This one is great.

Gone fishin’!

6. Did you notice the little bird?

A nice touch, wouldn’t you say?

7. Tiger King.

Ready to go on safari.

8. Time to party!

It looks like it might be a 1980s party, doesn’t it?

9. A very wise owl.

With cherry pie on the mind.

10. A very distinguished pig.

Might want to think about running for President someday.

11. T-Rex ready to honky tonk!

All decked out in Western wear.

12. Forgot your pants!

You still look really good, though.

Those are great, don’t you think? I’m personally a huge fan.

Now we want to hear from you.

Do you know of any other really cool artists we should be following on social media?

If so, please tell us about them in the comments!

We look forward to hearing from you.

Penguins Roamed Around an Empty Art Museum While We Were in Lockdown

What do you do when you’re a penguin and you have nothing to do because all of the humans that usually come see you are in lockdown?

Why, take a trip to the art museum, of course! Because there are no people there either!

Hey, birds need a little art and culture every once in a while, too. These penguins from the Kansas City Zoo took a little field trip to the nearby Nelson-Atkins Museum.

You can see how much they thoroughly appreciated the fine art exhibits in the video below:

These cute little tuxedo guys are Humboldt penguins, and their names are Bubbles, Maggie and Berkley.

“Humboldt penguins in human care can live well into their thirties. In the wild, Humboldt penguins are facing habitat loss and suffering from overfishing which depletes their food sources,” a Kansas City Zoo spokesperson said. “Unfortunately, our penguins can’t speak for themselves, but we think they found the experience at the museum very enriching!”

After the penguins went back home to the zoo, museum staffers got curious and went looking for any penguin-themed art in the museum’s collection.

They found at least one painting they could have shown the little birds, but somehow I doubt the penguins would have recognized their feathered brethren in this dark painting.

After our little visitors from the Kansas City Zoo, we thought we'd uncover whether we have any penguin-related art in…

Posted by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art on Wednesday, May 20, 2020

Art and penguins really seem to be the perfect match. Although someone at the art museum did probably have to clean up a few “messes” here and there after the visit. Oh well — no pain, no gain.

What’s your favorite zoo animal?

Rivalry Between Two Artists is Epically Hilarious

We love a good rivalry. The Capulets and the Montagues. The Avengers versus Thanos. Harry Potter versus Voldemort. The list goes on.

Apparently, the art world has one of the best rivalries of all time. This petty feud is truly next-level, and if you haven’t heard of it, you’ll be super familiar by the end of this Tumblr thread.

The feud is between two artists: Anish Kapoor and Stuart Semple. Here’s how it gets started:

Photo Credit: Tumblr

The Bean, aka Cloud Gate, in Chicago was created by well-known artist Anish Kapoor. He’s not all that well-liked in the art world apparently.

The drama continues:

But don’t think the story ends there:

Sample, of course, has to pour salt in the wound:

He’s a cheeky fellow, isn’t he?

But wait, there’s more:

And then there are the counter-strikes:

And then there’s Halloween Bean:

Ouch, let’s go easy on the little guy, OK?

Gotta love Guy Fieri!

And this one really speaks to those frigid Chicago winters:

And then there’s this gem of an event:

And apparently Stemple is just a badass, because he’s also willing to use his art to stand up to other inequities:

Well, there you have it, the most epic feud in the art world. Using pigments and Facebook events to get revenge — now that’s something we hadn’t considered before!

What’s your favorite rivalry? In pop culture, sports or otherwise?

Artist Creates IKEA Instructions on How to Make Horror and Sci-Fi Characters

As a big fan of all things horror and science fiction, I have to say that I LOVE these illustrations.

They come to us from an illustrator named Ed Harrington who lives in Virginia.

Among other artworks, Harrington draws characters from horror and sci-fi movies as though they were instructions from IKEA.

The end products are totally awesome and also pretty funny, if you ask me.

Let’s take a look at Harrington’s work…you might never look at Freddy Krueger the same way again…

1. Don’t move, dirtbag!

RoboCop for the win!

2. Avoid this Alien at all costs.

Or else you’ll regret it…

3. One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.

Three, four, better lock your door.

4. For all the Star Wars fanatics out there.

Will he ever escape from this?!?!

5. And then there’s this guy…

Build your own Darth Vader!

6. Beware of zombies!

Especially those from The Walking Dead!

7. I heard you’re looking for Candyman…

Definitely not someone you want to run into…

8. Creepy Carrie! Creepy Carrie!

One of the movies that ruined my childhood.

9. This also ruined my childhood!

Damien from The Omen.

10. Hannibal the Cannibal.

Hello, Clarice…

11. The creepy kid from Pet Sematary!

Also known as Gage. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll never look at a scalpel or an Achilles tendon the same way ever again…

12. Cool! He-Man rules!

Masters of the Universe!

Those are awesome!

And what an amazingly original idea, right?

What other characters would you like to see Ed Harrington illustrate in this fashion?

Tell us what you think in the comments!

A Couple Turns Memorable Moments with Their Baby Into Great Comics

One of Those Days is a web comic created by married couple Yehuda and Maya Devir of Tel Aviv, Israel. They’re both artists, though its unclear if they both contribute to the actual artwork of the comic, or if it’s solely inked by Yehuda (aka “Jude”.) Either way, the comic has a long history of entertaining and inspiring through its humorous and heartwarming depictions of the tiny, meaningful moments of married life.

It has amassed quite an audience, with 5.5 million followers on Instagram, as well as lots of accolades and award nominations:

But the central theme of the comic has changed lately due to a corresponding change in their own lives: they’re now parents! And their depictions of life with their daughter Ariel are incredibly relatable to anybody with kids.

15. Pain and love

It’s a magical, messy moment.

14. A rush of affection

She’s just got a funny way of showing it.

13. Spooky times

Who doesn’t love a first Halloween?

12. Time apart

The separation anxiety is real.

I miss you already…🙁🥺😢😭 If I thought giving birth was the hardest thing a woman had to go through in her life then I was wrong! Separating a woman from her baby is a million times harder. I thank every day that we have been blessed with a job we enjoy and make millions of people happy with us, but the work requires us to travel quite a bit, which means we have to leave Ariel in the hands of her loving grandmothers. Maya is a true hero the way she flies off for work every time despite the difficulty in parting from Ariel and manages to put her future ahead of her own personal struggle. She keeps saying that separating from Ariel is the hardest thing she's ever experienced, and it doesn't get easier from time to time, even though it makes sense it will. So, there is no sense in parenting… Only what the heart feels. Being a career person while raising a family is perhaps one of the most difficult challenges we would have to face in life. I don't know what we would do without both of our amazing mothers. I guess mother love to her child has no expiration date.
