"I went outside and I never came back in," he said. "The medium is so forgiving, and you don't have to be perfect, but you can make beautiful things."
"You work your glutes, you work your legs and your back," he said. "If you're a person that doesn't do yoga, I do not recommend it at all."
"Donut worry, be happy."
Khalid Zakzouk, a 58-year-old Palestinian who works part-time at Lucca's Deli, creates chalk art on sidewalks in San Francisco's Sunset District and along Irving Street. He began making art during COVID-19 lockdowns, experimented with oil, watercolor, and colored pencil, then started using chalk in 2023 after borrowing chalk from his wife. He produces characters and scenes such as a mama cow and baby pig, a donut mascot, and an E.T. rolling a joint. He kneels for hours, blends and smudges color with foam brushes, and replaces pieces about every two weeks.
