David Zinn's New Characters on the Streets of Ann Arbor

 Michigan illustrator David Zinn continues to illuminate the streets of Ann Arbor with his chalk drawings since 1987.
The artist works with chalk or charcoal to create works specific to the site that usually incorporates surrounding features such as cracks, street infrastructure, or found objects. Over the years, he has developed a particular universe of recurring characters including a bright green monster named Sluggo and a phlegmatic flying pig named Philomène.

Many works of art by David Zinn are available in prints, and he has recently published a new book entitled: "Temporary Preserves".

Nylon threads and neatly erupted charcoal bits take over Miami's Zadok Gallery in "Fiction and the Fabricated Image"—an exhibition that opens this weekend by the South Korean artist Seon Ghi Bahk. The show explores the interplay of nature and civilized culture. In stringing up palm-sized pieces of charcoal, Bahk is able to formulate familiar architectural shapes at various levels of completion. A thrilling tension is uncovered when trying to understand these disintegrating installations, in light of the ploddingly delicate manner with which they have been assembled.

body-mummies that would combine with each other and scarred faces that explode under the blows of sharp arrows; as would the world through the eyes of Joseph Loughborough. Yet passed the first impression of chaos, there is a dichotomy in structuring the work of Joseph Loughborough, a delicate balance between calm and confusion, excitement and control. Admirable work on the representation of the human form damaged, the work rich and varied Joseph Loughborough is a reflection on the accelerated decay and the erosion of time. ( h/t:BOUMBANG)
