Marker Portraits

The art Material of the 21st century

These markers are alcohol-based instead of the water-based markers we remember from our childhood. It makes them blend beautifully, without tearing up the paper. The best alcohol-based markers are Copic Markers, which can cost up to 10$ per marker. Since alcohol-based markers are rising in popularity, more and more affordable alternatives are coming out by other brands, like the Ohuhu Markers. You can see both marker types above: Copic Sketch Markers and Ohuhu Markers.

Artworks with a unique look

Alcohol-based markers get their color from ink instead of pigment, which makes them blend extra smoothly. They have a very distinct, even look to them, when used right.

Questions & Answers

Yes, of course! You can select adding pets as an extra service during checkout.

No, these markers have a fugitive ink, wich means it will fade over time. If you hang up the artwork in a sunny spot the UV-raises will speed up the fading process. Make sure to place the artwork in a spot where it’s protected from direct sunlight and it will last you many years.

ATCs

are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Since 1997 artists create, trade and collect them, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5×3.5 inches. One of these traditional portraits is your ticket to thousands of other artworks worldwide. Collect ATCs, trade them and gift them, these mini artworks can do way more than just hanging on your wall.

Wich size is the best?

That depends on what you are looking for. Do you want to collect multiple artworks or take the portrait with you (e.g. in your phone case or wallet): go for the ATC size! Do you want a portrait of you or max two people? The classic postcard size can be beautifully displayed anywhere from your desk to your living room without taking away too much space. It’s my most popular size. Do you want multiple figures or more details in your portrait? Go for the biggest size.
