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

This is just awesome. The guy deserves the credit for this.
I wish I could draw this good It’s so much better then boring plain walls!
Awesome work.. It gives me ideas for my workshop here in the basement..
It’s GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I need to take some art classes before I start to mark up my room with a sharpie.
Parabéns ao artista plástico Edi Edson pelo magnífico trabalho; é muito criativo e marcante pela sua força e ao mesmo tempo leve por sua simplicidade. Confira o Site oficial do Artista no link… Parabéns…
this is amazing and completely original…this takes effort and patience that should be admired
“Totally Awesome!!!”, I love it!! I have see some clever decorating…
this is so fun, who would think to use Sharpies, “what imagination, and talent!!!”
Unbelievable! Amazing … I want to live in that basement!
That’s so cool.

I hate creative people they make the illuninati SAD!!!
Just goes to show what you can do with a few bucks and CREATIVITY. He literally thought “outside the box” of his basement! Nice job, nice story!
It reminds me of a coloring book, albeit a very fancy coloring book. Can I come over and color? Kidding!
Nevermind the art, that’s the sweetest apartment ever besides! The guy must be stinking rich or else property prices are affordable wherever he lives. An apartment like that would cost loads here (Ireland). We have crappy little “flats” that cost an arm and a leg to rent.
Amazing! I wonder how long it took him to complete.
I am so going to do this… absolutely awesome… great idea, great job!!!
Imagine what he could have done in the colors that are now available..I love the scene with the people fireside with the painting hung above…great depth!!!
I like the mix of 1809 and 2009. Is that styling of the Georgian time period?
I like the character of his lines and the fact he chose classic, traditional design elements but I am betting it was more like $20 or even $30 worth of Sharpies! Nice job, guy.
OMG, this is simply awesome! LOVE it! ♥
This is just “THE” coolest thing ever! I LOVE it! Way to go Charlie!
it’s gonna take so much KILZ to repaint that wall one day…
Автор как всегда написал все понятно
Неплохо в общем, хотя не узнал ни че нового
огромное спасибо!
Ok, the drawing is amazing, but did anyone else see that R2-D2 trash can? that thing is boss.
I am a natural born artist, with an art degree & 13 years experience in the art media & print world, and I say this guy did one hell of a good job. I’ve done things similar to this before in my spare time, but not to such a magnitude. Applause, applause.
nice work, I’m really impressed. This guy has real artistic talent!

Where did he get the time to do it? apart from the fantastic artistic talent
must lead a very boring life.At least if he ever finds somebody he would want for a partner can say to them “would you like to come and see my etchings?”
Everyone has hobbies…instead of drawing on paper it was the walls…instead of watching TV he drew. This doesn’t indicate a boring life!
soooooo cooool!!!
Хороший и интересный пост, всегда с удовольствием Вас читаю
