Get inspired to draw outside the lines with these 5 marker masterpieces.
George Ramos spent two weeks on this intricately designed Lamborghini––he used Sharpie markers to create the design and then topped it off with a clear coat of paint to protect the pattern. The car was displayed at the Concorso Italiano, a festival celebrating Italian style, in Monterey, California, and received plenty of appreciative nods. Photo courtesy of George Ramos.
Peter Bragino created a custom design on his Ibanez guitar using an industrial-strength Sharpie marker––no sanding or topcoat was needed to preserve the long-lasting design. He penned this intricate work of art at his Brooklyn, New York, art gallery, THECEEFLAT. Photo courtesy of Peter Bragino.
Okat can always go barefoot thanks to his custom trompe-l’oeil shoes. Tracing his own feet over a pair of slip-on Vans first with pencil, he then drew over the lines with a black Sharpie. He used acrylic paint to fill in the feet with a shade close to his own skin tone. At first glance, you wouldn’t even know these were shoes—they almost look like the real thing!

One day Charlie Kratzer took a look at his basement’s bare, cream-colored walls and decided to spice things up a bit. Instead of using wallpaper or paint, the lawyer picked up $10 worth of Sharpie markers. He used famous people and works of art as inspiration for this grand illustration. And Sharpie artwork was the just the beginning for this budding artist—he learned to paint, and now displays his works upstairs as well. Photo courtesy of Charlie Kratzer.
