Sharpies are a staple in every household. We all use them to address packages, make posters, or just mess or around with, and for as long as they’ve been around, artists have utilized them, just never in a fashion like what is being done today. They are making their way from a secondary tool used for outlining drawings, to becoming the star in an artists regiment. Two artists, in particular, are paving the way for this trending art form.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alex Coxen<\/a>, of the critically acclaimed, and ever elusive, band Milk Music has taken up the Sharpie and crafted some incredibly unique designs that would leave even the highest of the high-brow art critic in awe. Going by the title “Worn Spiral”, all of his work is done on t-shirts which he sells over on etsy<\/a>. Though it isn’t about the t-shirts and the money necessarily, Coxen crafts these pieces for the artistic value, and for the originality and fun of it. He claims that each piece of work he creates is just as alive as you or me, as each piece is different from the last, no two alike. Coxen’s works include characters like Mickey Mouse, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, the Grim Reaper, all manor of skeletons (some being Grateful Dead skeletons), jesters dancing atop eggs, and the monks for Milk Music’s album cover for their 2017 record Mystic 100’s<\/a>. We’re not sure how he came to drawing on blank shirts with a Sharpie, but we’re not complaining, and neither should you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
