My uber-talented brother in law Allister has been collecting markers that he uses in his art for years. He’s now approaching the 500 markers milestone and he’s been doing large detailed drawings of each marker along the way. I’m not talking a total of 500 markers – that would be easy – these are 500 unique markers. You wouldn’t think there are even 500 different ones in the world. As a bonus, he’s going for a Guiness record. To commemorate, he’s also got a large sized poster for sale. Check out the photos to see just how huge this project is.
