"Sharpie Creative Markers unleash a new way to create at Art Battle by popping with bold color on nearly any surface," said Gina Lázaro, Vice President, Brand Management, Writing at Newell Brands. "These paint-like acrylic markers give artists in this competition the opportunity to freely express themselves using tools that can turn any canvas into a work of art."
"The New Sharpie Creative Marker is a phenomenal tool for our artists as they create live," shared Simon Plashkes, Co-Founder at Art Battle. "The bullet tip is way ahead of the competition, and the brush tip is like nothing we have seen before - it truly empowers an entirely new array of strategies in time-limited competition."
