Spotted Sharpie

No, not a leopard Sharpie…but a question: 

Where in the world have you spotted Sharpie?

     *Maybe you brought a Sharpie Marker to the top of the Empire State building? 
     *Did you catch your favorite rock star with a Sharpie on stage?
     *Were you sailing through Greece on a Sharpie while drawing a picture with a Sharpie Pen?
     *Are you studying abroad, highlighting your travels with a Sharpie Highlighter?

Tell us! Show us!

 Send in your story and pictures to sharpie.permanent.markers@gmail.com OR post on our Facebook wall. Help us fill in a world map of Sharpie spottings! Your picture could be posted by Sharpie!

Best Tools Of All Time

Good Housekeeping Magazine ranked Sharpie Retractable Markers on their list highlighting

          ”The Best Tools of All Time”

Referring to the one-handed wonder as “the go-to pens for establishing order” you’d be a fool not to own a set! (at least in my opinion)

Two other items on the list are by our sister brand, Rubbermaid with their interlocking plastic drawer organizers and wheeled under-bed storage box!

What items would rank on your “Best Tools of All Time” list?

Sharpie Drawbot

Finally, a solution to those days when you really want to draw but lack the energy to actually hold a marker in your hand…

Presenting, THE DRAWBOT!

Thank you very much oh Mr. Drawbot-O

Rasterweb provides instructions and the tools you need to build your very own Drawbot.

Look out for the Drawbot in Transformers 4

It's not a Drawbot without Sharpie markers!

You spin me right round baby, right round...

You're running circles in my head.

What color will you choose?

I can only assume that if you build 5 or more of these, the Drawbot could very well take the place of going out on Friday nights (“Sorry honey, I’m playing with my Drawbot”). 

Get your hands on a pack of Sharpie markers, a 9 Volt battery and whatever an Arduino board is and build a Drawbot for endless hours of entertainment!

A ‘Happy New Year’ Message

On New Year’s Day we made a new friend with a creative mind, Chris Pandolfi! After sending a ”Happy New Years” video message to Sharpie, we quickly sent a thank you to him for taking the time to post such a creative, unique video on our ‘lil ‘ol Facebook wall!

Watch the ‘Happy New Year’ message:

Here’s some more info. on Chris:

The ‘Dusters have recently been nominated for their first-ever Grammy for the instrumental “Magic #9” off the band’s third album, Things That Fly in the Best Country Instrumental Performance category.

BIG thanks again for the video message, Chris and Happy New Year to you too!  Best of luck to the band at the Grammy’s!
