You can actually get an iBook version of "Lost & Unfounded" still - it's basically a collection of images of the chalk art Zinn has created around town through the years. Hardly comprehensive, but if you've never seen Zinn's work (My wife and I ran into him working on one of these once) until now, I highly recommend the iBook. Awesome stuff.

Reminds me of those new projections they are putting on different NBA courts like the cavs. I wish they put this stuff on sidewalks in NYC, it might make everyone a little bit happier

Just wondering what school you're referring to.  Also wondering if the 'David Zinn' being discussed here is possibly related to an Economics professor at WMU  who taught back in the late 70's, also named Dave Zinn---he taught a 300-level Economic Theory class I took back then.  That Dave Zinn was a pretty eccentric guy, very knowedgable but hard to follow, as he often went off on tangents completely unrelated to what he was trying to present in that day's lecture.

Ann Arbor seems like a place where people trying to get up wouldn't be hounded by the cops like they are in bigger cities and in the south. Maybe this art is left alone because it's chalk and not paint. Either way, seeing this stuff brightens my day.

People are often mad uptight about uncommissioned public art. Flyers on telephone poles and ads on storefronts and interstate billboards go unnoticed, but aerosol art is the end of the world. The only difference, really, is that ads are paid for and graffiti isn't. The art in these pictures puts me in a good mood.

It's a fresh way to showcase art in A2 vs. what I see in the city I live in now (graffiti). Very cool. Funny, when I first read the title I thought the original post was about cartoons in the Daily - either Nuts and Bolts or Calvin.
