EL MARKO RIDES AGAIN !
Another mixed bag of markers, most of which came from an ebay lot I popped on last month. Lot of nice classics in the mix.
EL MARKO WATERCOLOR
Wow. The El Marko was my Holy Grail for the longest time until I got one from the homey DIET HTK earlier in the year. This is the watercolor version - same silhouette as the other el Marko, but a white body. Nice multi-faceted chiseltip. Really nice...

METAL DETECTOR
Here’s a power grouping of vintage metal markers that I got off of ebay. Not often that I get to see these older specimens just out and about, so when I saw them up for bid, I had to pop. All amazing specimens that wow with bold, clean design and sturdy quality construction.
MARKTEX TEXPEN
A vintage piece that seems to be the precursor to a Dalo Texpen. Rubber pump on the back...
BUT IN BLACK - 002
A great buncho older style markers, but not in black. Just a reminder that there are still a lot of markers out there that I need to track down.

MARKETTE
One plastic and one metal body Markette…but not in black. Really nice throwback...

Cardboard slipcover, styrofoam tray slides out to store markers.
SANFORDS MARKER DELUXE 69
Really like these mini metal Sanfords. Have the modern version, which...

INK-AN EMPIRE - HECHO EN PERU
Heres a slew of markers my friend Suzette copped for me when she went to Peru. There’s an entire world of markers out there - gotta start getting more international pieces in.
KP 580
First thing I noticed about this is the packaging. Rather than plastic clamshell they shrinkwrap it to the cardboard backer. Guess it’s a cheaper option. Nice basic bullet tip marker. White screened...
VAGABOND SKATEBOARDS - PRO MODELS
Been working with Shanghai based Vagabond Skateboards as creative director to develop their deck program and special projects since their inception in 2010.
Fresh off their Vietnam and Thailand tour, the gang got together last Sunday to premier their video from the trip, and launch of their first Pro Model decks.
“Hello My Friend” was shot by Charles Lanceplaine over a 2 week...
