In this collection of new chalk art made in Ann Arbor, Michigan (USA), Zinn transforms the streets into a miniature world where dragons hatch from the sidewalk, mice navigate storm channels, frogs worry about their teeth, and Sluggo can start the day with one giant cup of coffee. These pieces are funny, tender, and brilliantly site-specific—the kind of art that makes you look down, smile, and wonder what else the city might be hiding.

David Zinn turns an open box of chalk into part of the scene, as if this tiny Terrier has just appeared to critique the palette before disappearing again. It is playful, self-aware, and full of the handmade charm that makes his sidewalk worlds feel alive.
This little raccoon rises out of the drain with a pinwheel held high, as if the breeze itself is joining the artwork. Zinn uses the dark opening perfectly, making the character seem like a real resident of the hidden city below.
A bright green dragon strikes a wonderfully confident pose here, and the pink booties absolutely steal the show. Zinn’s humor lives in these small details, where a simple sidewalk becomes a stage for something delightfully absurd.
Bundled up beside a neat pile of snowballs, Maude looks determined, organized, and perhaps just a little competitive. The real snowbank behind her makes the whole scene feel like a tiny winter documentary captured in passing.
Sluggo hugs a turnip like it is the greatest treasure in the universe. It is a perfect example of how David Zinn can turn an ordinary corner of concrete into a tiny story about devotion, vegetables, and very specific taste.
💡 Fun Fact: David Zinn works almost exclusively with temporary materials like chalk and charcoal. He creates these intricate characters knowing they might wash away in the next rainstorm!
Clem appears to be mid-performance, framed by real feet and loose coins that make the scene feel like a miniature street concert. Zinn’s use of surrounding life is what makes these drawings so convincing and so funny at the same time.
This small purple guest sits on the step looking completely ready for celebration. The quiet stoop becomes a perfect little waiting room for mischief, giving the piece a gentle sense of anticipation.
The brick opening becomes a tiny window, the ivy becomes scenery, and the dangling heart becomes the punchline. Zinn has a gift for finding just enough of the real world to complete the emotional logic of a drawing.
These two baby dragons are already revealing their personalities from the moment they hatch. One feels curious, the other clearly looks ready to cause trouble, and that contrast gives the piece a storybook spark.
Jen may be tiny, but the oversized boots give her real momentum. The winter setting does half the storytelling for David Zinn here, while the chalk character brings in the warmth, resilience, and humor.
Josie’s reading session has clearly turned into a full discussion, with eager little listeners crowding in from every side. It is one of Zinn’s sweetest scenes, full of warmth, interruption, and affectionate chaos.
This rabbit feels caught in the exact moment when motion, weather, and personality collide. The blue scarf adds just enough drama to turn a simple chalk figure into a complete little comedy of wind and determination.
Nadine rows through a chalk-rendered rush of runoff as if a narrow crack in the pavement were an epic river. Zinn’s illusion work is especially strong here, using depth and edges to make the journey feel surprisingly real.
Hidden inside the wall, Nadine waits out the weather beside a calm and fluffy companion. The brick recess makes the scene feel intimate and sheltered, like a tiny secret being quietly kept in public.
Roger looks extremely pleased with himself, and the fallen tree behind him makes it easy to see why. This is classic David Zinn: a perfectly observed real-world situation turned into a deadpan visual joke.
Perched in a tiny stone opening with a crown on his head, Sam seems to be searching for the right royal announcement and finding none. The humor here is understated, but the setting makes the character instantly memorable.
Sebastian’s giant grin is impossible to ignore, and that nervous self-awareness makes the piece even funnier. Zinn lets the blank pavement do the work of a spotlight, keeping all the attention on those unforgettable teeth.
A manhole cover becomes the lid of an enormous coffee cup while Sluggo lounges beside it and a winged friend peeks out from behind. The scale illusion is wonderfully effective, turning everyday street hardware into a perfect morning scene.
Hattie bursts through cracked concrete with the unstoppable determination of a hero far larger than her size suggests. Zinn uses the broken surface brilliantly, making the breakthrough feel both dramatic and endearing.

The Art of Stones (12 Photos by Jon Foreman)
Have you ever seen a beach look this good? Jon Foreman turns stones into hypnotic patterns that look like they belong in a dream. In 2025, he traveled from Wales to Taiwan to create these 12 masterpieces. Some pieces were made with Layla Parkin, and they are all absolutely stunning. Check out these 12 photos of his land art!
🔗 Follow Jon Foreman on Instagram
🌀 1. Revolve — Druidston, Hamlet in Wales
This dark stone spiral pulls your eyes right into the center. It looks like a giant fingerprint left by nature on the sand.Jon Foreman: Although I love it when a big wave takes the piece in one, Sometimes the gently lapping waves can provide an extra element to a piece. In this case the small crease lines in the sand – a reaction to the stones being there provide an extra essence of motion to a work that already suggests that. I respond to nature, nature responds to me. A conversation, if you like.
☀️ 2. Circuitus Meridiem — Druidston, Hamlet in Wales
This one looks like a glowing stone sun. The white pebbles in the middle pop against the darker stones on the outside. It is the perfect way to welcome the morning.
🌈 3. Sol Colorum — Freshwater West
This is a rainbow made of rocks. The colors shift from orange to blue so perfectly you might think the beach was painted. Nature has the best color palette.
🌗 4. Halved — Lindsway Bay, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire
This piece looks like a giant pebble split in half. It shows how different colors and textures can fit together in perfect balance. It is like a stone yin and yang.
🍂 5. Lapis Folium — Gann Estuary (Dale), Wales
A 3D leaf made entirely of red stones. It looks like nature forgot a giant autumn leaf on the sand. The detail is simply amazing.
🔘 6. Augere — Druidston, Hamlet in Wales
A huge circle with a bright center. The layers of stones make it look like the art is glowing from the inside. It is hard to believe these are just normal rocks.
🌊 7. Ripple — Qixingtan Beach, Hualien, Taiwan
This looks like a black and white galaxy on the shore. It is as if a drop of water hit the beach and turned into stone. It was created for a festival in Taiwan.Jon Foreman: As a Ripple, through water undulates and expands, as does the flow of this artwork. Symbolic of the expansion of the festival and the waves it makes, bringing people together from across seas and transcending languages. This piece is also an evolution and expansion on the piece created by myself and Terry in Hualien last year. Spent a few days on this, very slow work, but luckily the sun was behind the clouds this time, so it wasn’t as hot as last time!, we built this piece to last for the festival time so between every large stone there are three small pebbles that act as a tripod for the next stone, even the smallest stacks feature this technique. it was very slow work by comparison to my more floor based work. The overall form is influenced by the ripple effect caused by a droplet in water. I have a fascination with creating flow with such solid objects as stones. I think there’s more to be experimented with for this form.
💥 8. Colos Chaos — Freshwater West
Hundreds of tiny stone towers standing together in a starburst. This collaboration with Layla Parkin looks like a stone explosion that stopped in time. Do not sneeze near this one!Jon Foreman: It was quite a rush towards the end as the sun was going down, I would have liked to have adjusted some bits even after looking at pictures now, even so I’m still happy with it!
🌙 9. Shell Moon — Sandy Haven Beach, UK
A crescent moon made from hundreds of shells. It is delicate, beautiful, and fits perfectly with the golden sunset light. Truly magical stuff.
🌟 10. Radiance — Freshwater West
A sunburst pattern with a hollow middle. The sharp stone rays look like they are reaching out for the ocean. It is simple but very powerful.
🐚 11. Fossil — Lindsway Bay, Pembrokeshire, UK
This is a massive drawing in the sand. It looks like a giant prehistoric creature left a mark behind. It is huge compared to the person walking nearby!
〰️ 12. Fluidform — Pensarn, Wales
Long rows of white stones that look like frozen waves. The way they ripple across the sand is very calming. It is the perfect way to end this collection.More: 18 Stunning Land Artworks by Jon Foreman!

These artists didn’t just paint nature; they teamed up with it. From trees breaking through brick walls to faces carved in living wood, here are 11 times the wild world took over the canvas.

🍃 Mud Maid — By Sue and Pete Hill in Cornwall, UK 🇬🇧
Mud Maid changes with the seasons, which is exactly why she is unforgettable. She is part sculpture, part garden, and part sleeping spirit of the woods.💡 Fun Fact: The Mud Maid’s “hair” and “clothes” are actually living moss and plants that change colors depending on the season—vibrant green in spring and rusty brown in autumn.

🌼 Sidewalk Flower Experiment — By Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen

🌀 Portal — By Jon Foreman in Little Milford Woods, Wales 🇬🇧
This piece feels like an invitation to step through the woods differently. Foreman uses found leaves and shape alone to create something halfway between ritual and abstraction.More by Jon Foreman: The Art of Stones (12 Photos)

🌲 Forest Spirit — Artist Unknown
A face emerging from wood is a simple idea on paper, but this one feels ancient and oddly gentle. It turns a tree surface into a character without losing its natural texture.
🌱 Beautiful Love — By Alter OS in Mexico City, Mexico 🇲🇽
Alter OS uses the real tree as the emotional center of the piece, letting the children’s gestures do the rest. It is small, caring, and instantly human.🔗 Follow Alter OS on Instagram
🦎 Brick Camo — By Paddy Watts
This one is all about observation. Paddy Watts makes the chameleon feel hidden and obvious at the same time, like the wall had been waiting to reveal it.🔗 Follow Paddy Watts on Instagram
❤️ Male Cardinal — By Hannah Bullen-Ryner
This piece shows how powerful ephemeral work can be. The careful arrangement of natural materials gives the cardinal texture, warmth, and a fleeting kind of beauty.💡 Fun Fact: Look closely—there is no paint, no glue, and no string. Hannah Bullen-Ryner creates these stunning portraits using only found natural materials like twigs, leaves, and berries. They are completely temporary and eventually just blow away with the wind.

This mural is impossible to glance at and forget. The giant eye is painted in Ukraine’s colors, Kyiv burns inside the reflection, and the tear does the rest. It turns one wall in Cardiff into a whole emotional weather report.

Chemis makes the building itself feel fragile here. The child looks like he is peeling out of the wall with his teddy and alarm clock, which gives the whole mural a dreamlike mix of safety and uncertainty. It hits that strange place where comfort and vulnerability live side by side.

This one lands quietly and then keeps getting heavier. A cardboard box over the head says everything about housing insecurity, invisibility, and how impossible it can feel to face a city that no longer has room for you. It is simple, surreal, and brutally effective.

After all that heaviness, this one feels like a deep breath. Oriol Arumi turns a plain residential block into an enormous nest, and suddenly the whole building reads as protection, family, and fragile hope. It is tender without being sentimental.

You do not need a title to understand this feeling, but Bifido gave it one anyway. The windows cut straight through the man’s head and hands, making the building itself feel part of the breakdown. It is one of those murals that seems to carry actual weight.

Julien De Casabianca pulled a classical painting out into public space and somehow made it feel even more intimate. The candlelight, the expressions, and the night setting make the whole wall glow with quiet human closeness. It feels like stumbling into a memory.

This sculpture keeps working on you long after you first see it. Two adults turn away in conflict, but the glowing children inside still reach for each other. It is one of the clearest visual metaphors for pride, pain, and connection I have ever seen.
💡 Fact: This was the first time a Ukrainian artist received a grant to build an installation at Burning Man. After the festival, the wire cages were saved and permanently installed back in Ukraine.

Sasha Korban went huge and still kept it deeply personal. The embrace is so tender that the scale almost makes it harder to process, especially once you know the mural is about reunion after war. It feels hopeful and heartbreaking at exactly the same time.

Insane51 turns romance into something eerie, beautiful, and unforgettable. The lovers face each other as bodies and skeletons at once, which makes the whole mural feel like intimacy stripped down to its essence. It is weird, moving, and strangely gentle.

JDL takes a subject that could easily feel unbearable and paints it with enormous care. The mother and child are held inside this stormy, moonlit stillness that reads as both protection and exhaustion. It hurts, but it also leaves room for hope.

Made You Feel (14 Photos)
Street art and sculpture have this way of hitting you right where it hurts, or where you need it most. These pieces aren’t just about making a city look better. They’re about the stuff we usually carry in silence: the grief that weighs a ton, the inner child we’re trying to protect, or that hollow feeling when someone is just… gone.
We’ve pulled together 14 works that don’t just sit there. They demand you feel something.More: Murals That Hit You Right in the Heart (12 Photos)

Never Stop Fighting Nazis
Fascism is not an opinion, but a practice of oppression. It is not fought with neutrality, nor with hollow institutions that shelter it behind democratic display cases. Whether as “underground” Nazi groups or as parliamentary authoritarianism in a suit, fascism feeds on passivity and fear.

💀 1. The Architect — By INSANE 51 in Crotone, Italy

🎈 3. Airhead — By SHOK-1 in London, UK
Don’t let go of the string! This balloon is shaped like a human skull and looks like it is floating right out of an x-ray machine. The smoky effect makes it look ghostly and light at the same time. It is a fun and slightly spooky take on a childhood toy.
👮 4. Basquiat Tribute — By Banksy in London, UK
Banksy used his signature style to pay respect to the great Jean-Michel Basquiat. The colorful skeleton figure is being frisked by two gray police officers.

🏚️ 10. Skull Building — By Suitswon in Brooklyn, New York, USA

🏚️ 14. Skull 2022 — By DavidL in Barcelona, Spain
This skull was painted outside an old, empty factory. The way the shadows fall makes the eyes look very deep and mysterious. It is a perfect fit for a place that has been left behind. The artist really used the texture of the old wall to make the bone look real.
🍻 15. International Beer Day — By ItSkeletal
Cheers to that! These two skeletons are having a drink together, but there is one small problem. The beer goes right through their ribcages because they don’t have stomachs! It is a hilarious setup that shows how funny life can be, even for a skeleton. This artist always knows how to make us giggle.More by ItSkeletal!: ItSkeletal’s Funny Art
What a journey through the urban anatomy! These artists really know how to make bones look beautiful and funny. I hope these 15 artworks gave you a new look at street art.
