Those markers give me a bad headache too.

Check out this Ducati Monster done by hand with a Sharpie:

The lady who did this is an (inspired) artist with a healthy sense of humor.

I thought exactly the same thing...which is probably why some of the lines look *delirious.*

When I was a teen, I lived in the upstairs of my parents duplex.
Dad allowed me to paint murals on the wall and I used permanent marker to define the edges of the work.

After I left home and joined the Navy, Dad went over the murals with paint.
Boy were we both surprised that the permanent marker bleeds through paint!

Poor Pop! He ended up putting up a new layer of insulation and sheet rock to cover the murals.
The darn things are still there behind the new walls LoL
Talk about permanent! LoL

You’d think Pop would be pissed but he was cool about it. He said the new insulation lowered the energy cost.

I did some other murals in rent homes, I have no idea how they dealt with that shit! LoL!

Might need to pump in some mellow Allman Brothers music to calm some travelers down after wandering into that crazy trip, man. Some Vitamin B Complex could ameliorate the bummer. Like, wow. Heavy.

Could be...

I think that’s cool. But I’m one of those who’ll get wasted at noon and listen to Meatloaf, so my tastes aren’t to be trusted. Oooo, I see something shiny! Back later!

Now that’s goth.

Those walls will be the topic of a thread hosted by Sunken Civ, some day in the future! Hope they can link to this thread to unravel the mystery.

The ones I did in my fathers house were BW, My friend who was taking a class in cinematography at Kent state took photos of it and submitted it as a project for BW composition.
He got an “A” LoL

Now he runs this joint http://avela.com/

The other murals I did were full color.

Some of these markers are technically non toxic, but eww, I’d need a good stiff cross-draft. If these were acrylic panels, maybe they were done on the ground outside, then installed.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Perhaps that’s how he did it..

Ideed!

[mylife]

Indeed!

FWIW, pigmented shellac will cover most types of marker, AFAIK all of them, and not bleed through. I discovered this when employees wrote notes to each other on the walls in a home we were working in.

Great idea for the mother in law’s quarters.

Thanks for the tip.

Hey Darks! Someone snuck into your house with a camera...

Had a friend in college that painted designs on his dorm room walls using a mix of water and laundry powder.

In normal lighting you couldn't see it, but when the black light was turned on.... interesting stuff. :)
