?. If you’ve walked the streets of Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the last few decades, you’ve probably spotted the wide-eyed monsters and mischievous dragons of David Zinn ( previously ). Since 1987, the artist has been drawing chalk-and-charcoal creatures in site-specific works that wash away with the rain.

As the UK rang in the new year 2021, a 100-metre tall pensioner, followed by a giant turtle, lit up the London skyline. It was the work of some 300 drones flying in London’s first-ever large-scale drone show and had been created and filmed a couple of nights before.
