Brian Morris: Sharpie Virtuoso

I am utterly blown away by what Chicago-based artist Brian Morris can do with a Sharpie pen.
Whether he’s working on paper:

or on three dimensional objects like these bookends:
the results are gorgeous pieces that combine tattoo-style artistry with a Día de los Muertos aesthetic (and maybe a bit of state fair atmosphere thrown in for good measure.) More images are available in the gallery on Brian’s site, on his blog, and at Rotofugi.
