Sharpie Art

Check out this really cool artwork that people are creating using Sharpies.

Artist Justine Ashbee, with just a Sharpie and paper, is able to create the illusion of movement and depth. She says, "I begin with a curve, from which lines and forms begin to emerge, evolve, morph, and grow organically, in an intuitive flow, while maintaining delicate, elegant precision." In other words, she starts drawing and whatever mood she's in, she creates her art.





This surrealist artwork done by "Sharpie King" Immy Mellin, who works exclusively with Sharpie markers, goes for $150 to $20,000.



It took Prestige Imports in Miami more than a 1,000 hours to cover this $200,000 Lamborghini with hand-drawn Sharpie designs and a clear coating. Click here to see more photos. The Lambo was eventually sold on eBay for $289,950.





Charles Kratzer wanted to spruce up his cream-colored basement walls. So instead of spending big bucks on artwork, he drew his own masterpieces with $10 worth of Sharpie markers. Click here to see a 360 degree view of his basement.
