Sharpie

Get the Words Out

“Man has two great gifts: ‘words’ to give sound to thoughts, and ‘writing’ to give thoughts meaning forever.” 

-Gianfranco Iovino 

Sharpie believes these are words to live by. Writing is a powerful way to reveal our thoughts, feelings and ideas to others. It also communicates our individuality and is a way to know ourselves better. So get a Sharpie and get the words out.

The written word does not have to be perfect to get its message across, as anyone who’s ever been in a bathroom stall knows. Sharpie pays tribute to the bathroom wall by installing blank billboards and a bucket of Sharpies in urban areas. Each will come with a prompt and an invitation to get the words out.

Sharpie Journal

Once you’ve been inspired to start writing, the Sharpie Journal is the perfect blank canvas. Don’t be afraid to make a mess of it. Just get it out of your head and onto the page.
