For me, one of the coolest things to come out of the pandemic was people being forced to find new (distanced) ways to connect with friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers who cross our paths on a daily basis.

Companies found new and innovative ways to find customers, education systems had to revamp to reach out to every willing student, and even artists unearthed brilliant ways to continue to connect and inspire the public.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, David Zinn does street art with chalk – on brick, concrete, or whatever else will take – and the images stick with people, long after they’re washed away by the rain.

Below are 16 images that will make it easy to see why once you’ve seen some of his work, you aren’t likely to forget it!

16. Francine is going places, y’all.

Don’t you love to see it?

15. These characters could star in a children’s book.

I would definitely read that.

14. What a great place for a chat.

They look so serious and cozy!

13. Oh my goodness.

I wonder if he sees his shadow or just a bunch of smiling faces.

12. What a metaphor this one is.

Emerging from the tunnel, striking a match.

11. You have to tickle both hedgehogs.

That’s just the rules of the universe!

What more could one want from a piece of art?

For them AND for me.

How can it not?

Who doesn’t? They bring the SPRING!

3. I would love to see this guy welcome me on my way.

He’s way happier to see me than most humans are!

The skill AND the feeling.
