Twenty years ago, Charlie Kratzer decided he wanted alot of impressionist-style art in his home...so, he figured he was gonna have to make it himself.
Ten dollars later (which is what, eight sharpies?)...he's ended up with this:

I'm getting some gold and sliver sharpies and having a good time on my boring walls tonight with a projector!!!
I really like this idea but I was picturing a lot more color. I am considering doing this, even in my apartment because its easy to paint over!! If I do, I will send pictures!!
if you mess up and use rubbing alcohol to clean up the sharpies, will it hurt the paint on the wall?
Tim, it's intentional. Read the (fine) article for more information:
" A flip-top garbage can is transformed via marker art into Star Wars' plucky little beeper R2D2. "

He also included some of his other favorite characters (cartoon or otherwise) that happen to not be pictured.
coool would love to see a bit more colour though :) but overall very unique idea :)
I'm with Destiny. that is super cool cool cool!
I'm wondering why noone is commenting on the R2D2 trashcan in the background of pic #2... It may not fit into the sharpie-chic motif he's got going on there, but cool nonetheless.
okay that's seriously THE coolest thing I've ever seen. a friend of mine has a toothbrush holder full of permanent markers in different colors and anytime a guest uses the washroom, they get to leave a note for her on her bathroom wall. I haven't convinced my boyfriend to let me own permanent markers since i told him how much i loved the idea.
