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. FULL STORY

Absolutely amazing.Beautiful work.
pretty sharp (ie) lol
Thats Sick.. Someones got a lot of time on there hands.
That guy is my uncle and I have seen it in person!!! It is even better in person!!! That is just the family room! I am only 9 and hope I can draw like him when I get big.
it was my uncle first!!1
I agree with Gay Hastings in “Reader’s View” on September 23; Bring back “For Better,” comics now are worse. I looked forward to getting the paper each day so that I could read about the story of the Pattersons. Now, I don’t even read the comic strips most days. Rather than the awful stip that replaced it, a better option would be to restart the comic strip from the beginning or start several years back and come forward. I already miss the Pattersons. Let’s bring them back!!!!!!
Not Sick !!!!!! , Very talented with a lot of patience. Very inexpensive.
Very, Very talented. Although I think it would look better with some period furniture to match the scheme of things. But nonetheless, FANTASTIC !!!
Thanks for the sweet words Chloe. And you are even sweeter in person. I know you will draw better than me when you grow up–just don;t let your Mom tell you not to draw on the walls!
R2-D2? IT IS YOU, IT IS YOU!!
Holy cow, Batman – that’s so cool! Great work!
Amazing. One of the best ideas I have seen. Now, I have to convince my wife to let me do it.
Oh. My. GOD!!! This guy is really, really talented!
I absolutely LOVE this room!! This is an AMAZING idea but it requires a good deal of talent to pull it off!!
I think I have a new IDOL!!!
I decorated my name on a bathroom stall a few times as well.

Gymbo, buddy, didn’t you mean to write, ‘That’s sick. Someone’s got a lot of time on their hands’?
That’s what you meant, right Gymbo?
I think the R2D2 garbage can in the hallway tells us a little something about the man behind this work…. : )
100% nerdy awesomeness!
Wow , I’m impressed , Winston Churchill himself would be quite amazed .
Good job !
Iit is the photographer’s eye ,not the camera, that captures the image. In this case it is not $10 worth of markers, but was the artist’s vision, imagination and artistry that makes this so remarkable (no pun intended).
$10 worth of sharpie and a trillion worth of creativity and ability. I have always admired the ability to create dimension on a float surface. Further, this is done totally with line–no tonal variation.
Bravo! My highest compliments. And thank you.
My six year old is working on this concept. I will not show him this post. I might add that if the artist decides he wants to paint over this work he’ll need to prime it with an oil or shellac based product to insure that the sharpie doesn’t bleed through. I hope the artist was using a respirator, or had a window open with a fan in it to avoid further brain damage from the volatile and harmful fumes.
Keep on with the idea and post again.
This is great! Anyone else reminded of the bedroom in Tim Noah’s “In Search of the Wow Wow Wibble Woggle Wazzie Woodle Woo”?
Useless, wasted time. Get a work and grab some money instead.
It is NEVER sick to be creative. Creativity nourishes the spirit and the mind! All should seek creative projects to find the solace of sanity in these hard times we live in! I bet if this guy is anything like me, he sees hundreds of places where he thinks it “doesn’t look right” LOL! Who sez we have to fit in???
I think it’s cool!
did anyone notice the R2D2 trash can? haha! Love the work, gives the place lots of character.
Yes that was also my Uncle. He is pretty good at drawing.
Please take the red pill people and lets end the terror state trying to turn US into a police state.
http://www.radioilluminati.com
He’s even got an R2D2 trash can! Way too awesome!
Love it, it is a work of art
I love what he did with the basement, Very cool,Thats graffitti that i like
If the Sharpie folks don’t make a commercial using this guy as their spokesperson, that would be the single worst blunder in all of marketing history! Awesome work!
shopped
Yes, Bolka. This man should “get a work.”
this is priceless putting money into the tittle is insulting
Looks really tacky! Like a really bad student project!
it’s one thing to imagine it, but then to carry through so well and allow all of us to See the creative images come into view and be a part of our imagination is most inspiring and appreciated. Thanks for sharing!
that is amazing.
what compels one to create such a dedicated work of art?
Sexy R2-D2 in the kitchen.
He’s got a Wii and a 360.
Sweet.
mmm… what a fine decorator…
sharpie on the walls, and a r2d2 over in the corner…
what fine taste.
momma didn’t raise no foo… you don’t draw on the walls…
This guy is my dad he is amazing. After he drew this he fucked me up the butt.
really cool. I’ve never seen anything like that before. Design on a budget, and it totally works!!!
fricking awesome!
my brother is an artist who also happens to work at Starbucks. He uses the sharpies that they use to write on cups at the store to decorate our apartment. Our apartment is literally covered in his art, everyone who sees it is amazed at the detail and concept, and it’s an almost never-ending palette!
Great work here
This is really cool. I hope he know that sharpies bleed through paint, though. So if he ever wants to repaint, it will have to be in black.
This is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Wow! I wish I could draw that well!
this guy has some huge TV..:D
$10 worth of sharpies and a priceless amount of talent. If i did that, it would look like prison bars.
that’s great work. I thought once to draw a wall in my kitchen… I might do it.
This kinda reminds me of the entry way in the movie Three Men and a Baby
Thats was really Fabulous! Great work man!
“It is NEVER sick to be creative” blah blah blah blah
get a grip man, he obviously meant “sick” as in the slang term for great.
