‘I can’t answer it,’ Green stated, ‘I have a reputation in this neighborhood as a person who is not, you know, covered in Sharpie.’ An Investigation into the Effect of Sharpie Face on Daily Interactionsĭuring one instance of Sharpie Face, Green’s doorbell rang and he declined to answer it due to the excessive amount of ink on his face. With Green’s wonderful drawing abilities, perhaps ‘Monster Make Up Tutorial’ could be the new ‘Giraffe, Dog’ we’ve been waiting for.ģ. The 96 personalized Sharpies appear to be green (how fitting) and therefore there is a limit to the types of Sharpie make up looks that could be created, but we think there’s scope for a pretty convincing slime monster, Grinch grin or reptile look.
Green has remarked in the past how the colors bring out his eyes and we’d love to see Sharpie Face taken to a new level.
Sharpie Face tends to consist of fairly aimless scribbling, despite how elegant the results may appear. With 96 new pens, we have our fingers and toes crossed for at least 96 new works from what critics have called ‘our generation’s Picasso.’ It therefore stands to reason that there must be more where that came from. The remarkable ‘Giraffe, Dog’ was undeniably a work of modern art, and it’s hard to believe that the creator of such work could be a one-hit-wonder. Green has displayed his exemplary artistic skills only a handful of times, but oh how we’ve treasured those moments.
We’ve got some ideas about what he could use them for. In 2011, he used the famous pens to sign 150,000 copies of ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ and is currently signing 200,000 of his upcoming title ‘Turtles All the Way Down.’ He is also known for doing ‘Sharpie-Face’ which, as you might guess, involves him drawing on his face with Sharpies, usually while explaining current affairs.įinally, the glorious day has come and Sharpie have acknowledged Green’s loyalty by sending him 96 personalized pens. So, anyone who follows father of YA fiction John Green knows that he has some serious brand loyalty when it comes to Sharpie.
