A few weeks ago, a new website, Sharpie Uncapped, was launched, which praises Sharpie users for their creative minds.
Ya ya, I’m sure you’re thinking, “This girl works for Sharpie why wouldn’t she claim to love this site?!” Well before you throw me under the bus, you should know that even before I worked at Sanford, I loved this site, it’s actually really cool, especially in comparison to what other sites of the same genre have to offer.
What I like about Sharpie Uncapped is that it appeals to all different people. Sharpie has always aimed a large part of their campaign towards moms, bc. yes, that is a main demographic, but THIS site appeals to…well, just about everyone! You name it: you, me, Snoop, “Speidi,” Tony Hawk, the ice cream man, Conan O’Brien (oh how I love Conan),…- Heck, even those guys from MilliVanilli! Seriously, everyone can find something they like at SharpieUncapped.
If you don’t believe me, check it out for yourself. On site, you can browse through a gallery of artwork by professional and amateur artists. Watch videos offering step-by-step instructions on creating one of a kind pieces including, T-shirts and shoes! Or chat with other users about all the reasons you love Sharpies or even what you don’t like; get ideas for a summer art project; share tips on how to best remove an ink mark from your kitchen tile – the topics are endless, you decide!
Another cool feature of the site is called Web Ink. I’ve heard a lot of people say they wanted something like this from Sharpie and YES, finally you have it! Web Ink enables you to pick from an assortment of Sharpie products and draw a picture, write your name, whatever- as many times as you want. And if you like your drawing so much that you want to download and print it, set it as your computer’s background, or email it to a friend, then you go right ahead and do that!
With Sharpie in common, visitors of the site are extremely supportive, receptive and complimentary of one another. The site has reminded me that people actually enjoy praising each other for our strengths and accomplishments – it’s not a competition here! SharpieUncapped is great because it’s all about sharing, being creative and showing your distinct style and personality. I love that!!
I strongly urge you to check it out. Have fun and see what people are doing with their Sharpies!

Recently, I started a new job at Sanford as a Sharpie Inktern!
What is an Inktern you ask? More or less, an Inktern is basically an Intern but to be honest, we are much cooler than your everyday intern (and believe me, read my About Me section, and you’ll see that I have the internship thing down to a T). We work on some pretty awesome projects, get the inside on all the up and coming events and products, work with an AMAZING team of people, and not to mention get hooked up with a whole lot of cool product!
This summer I’ll be working on getting the word out about the new, interesting, and exciting ways consumers, like you, are using Sharpies! I’ll be talking with different artists about how they have best incorporated Sharpies into their work, researching ways people show off their style and personalities by designing their own clothes, accessories, music, school supplies… you name it- all with Sharpies!
In addition to writing about how they are used, I’ll fill you in on new products, contests and events that Sharpie will sponsor and attend! Plus, if you have a piece of Sharpie art that you find interesting, have created something that is absolutely amazing, or just want to express your love for Sharpies- I want to know about it!!
This INKTERNSHIP should be a great opportunity to learn and grow (hopefully get my career rolling too)!!
