chalker

Sidewalk art maker

A chalker is someone who uses chalk, typically to write or draw on surfaces like blackboards, sidewalks, or walls.

The term appears in specific contexts: a pool player who chalks their cue, a tailor who marks fabric, or someone who chalks up scores.

The sidewalk chalkers drew hopscotch grids and colorful murals.
