Sharpie art on discs?

[LeewayeDiscGolf]

I've never done a Sharpie disc myself, just dyes, but I may try one for the hell of it. Do you find that certain plastics work better for Sharpie, like certain plastics dye better?

Here's what I did to my Ultralight Defender.

The flippiest disc I have ever had... I can whip this thing out with so much hyzer it's ten degrees from vertical and it will flip over and turn.

^that looks like a poker chip

 

[AJ_86]

Indeed.

Here's some of mine, don't have the courage to dye yet.

^^ Those all turned out great... I like the canes logos. Haven't followed hockey in years, but I like their alt. logo. Good work!!

Thought I would give the sharpie thing a try. I drew on the bottom so it would look more like the koi in my pond. I dont care for it, I am going to try dye and a sponge next time.

epic with ink, not gonna happen
i tried 2 markers, 4 pens - all wipe off with your fingers pretty easy...

i did dye mine too, soaked it for hours in the dye, didnt take the dye too well, but its permanent, way better than dx dyes

i want to know what pen Innova uses to mark their x-outs
that shh... stuff is permanent

Try a "Sharpie Industrial". Most office supply stores will have them...
It's a much more permanent "Pigment" based ink as opposed to the "Dye" based ink used in the regular Sharpies...:thmbup:

I am shocked (SHOCKED!) no one has mentioned Chris Sprague in this thread yet. Here's a link to his facebook album...

It doesn't seem to be private, I'm not friended with him and I can access it just fine. Those are done, I believe, as hand applied dye, using bamboo writing tools.

If you haven't yet, check this out. The artwork is insane, I especially like the G.I.Joe disc (and I'm not even a G.I.Joe fan)

Bradley Williams left one of his putters for my girlfriend to go crazy on. I think she did alright. Still haven't sent it to Brad yet.. He'll have to wait

I like it! You should do it on another disc with actual Rit dye and vinyl and still bottom dye it. Nice job.

Thanks, gots to save up for some more clear plastic to dye!

I've heard colored Sharpies fade faster than black. Any idea if that's true? I'm thinking about using the silver metallic on a navy blue disc, and maybe the gold Sharpies that are out now for the holidays. I'm assuming it will work? Worst case scenario, I end up with gold all over my disc. BALLIN.

 

[Buzzhenn]

Mine aren't old enough to have faded yet, so I have no idea about color vs. black. I used the silver for the stick in the Hurricanes Alt logo, it turned out better than I expected.

Silver fades fast.

saw some markers at the local scrapbook store. Claim to be fade proof and a bunch of other junk, anyone try fancy dancy markers like this. This place had a rack of colors they are perm. markers for scrapbooking and caligraphy and junk.

My wife is a big time scrapbooker (Please help! lol) so I can talk to her about it if you know the brand. However the thing to remember is that they are made for scrapbooking which usually does not get covered in mud, water, and snow.

this is sharpie and prisma color markers

I think all the Sharpie artwork on discs looks tacky. I have a friend that did a lot of his and it looks ridic. I never know what to say when he shows me one of his new ones. :\
