Sharpie, Glam, and Limited Edition (Three things I don't normally put together)


Limited Edition Sharpie "80's Glam" (Photo taken at London Drugs)
Some of these colours I associate with the 1980s. (Not sure about that yellow.) But limited edition? Really? These are non-refillable pens. When the ink runs out the pens are going in the bin. (And the date should be '80s, not 80's.)

Those complaints aside, I do like the illustration in the background. It looks like it is supposed to be reminiscent of  Patrick Nagel's work. In the late '70s and early '80s he did lots of work for Playboy, but his best known illustration was the cover of the 1982 Duran Duran album "Rio".
