When Charlie Kratzer started on the basement art project in his south Lexington home, he was surrounded by walls painted a classic cream. Ten dollars of Magic Marker and Sharpie later, the place was black and cream and drawn all over.
There are fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, Winston Churchill lounging with George Bernard Shaw — and the TV squirrel Rocky and his less adroit moose pal Bullwinkle.
Says Kratzer of his cartoon of a cartoon: “You appreciate the cleverness more as an adult.” [...]
(Visit Kentucky.com for a 360-degree video of Kratzer’s basement – it’s cool!)Says Kratzer, 53, the associate general counsel for Lexmark: “People are amazed that with something as simple and inexpensive as a Sharpie, you can decorate a whole basement.”

my son works with sharpies alot. I had no idea there were so many different shapes, sizes of sharpies. He loves grafitti art and does a draft of what he wants to put up, and he usually uses sharpies to do the drafts. And yes BinNM, Kratzer definitely has talent!
