I'm wondering for those who saw his demo in person, does that white marker really work that well? I was kind of amazed how it showed up. Did he have some special kind of black paper?
the colored markers were totally cool. I think I've got to try those for sure.
I just got my markers this week, and have been playing with them. The white one is actually pretty impressive. I've been using it on tags, over dried spray inks, dried distress stains, etc. When you color with it, you can't see where the ink is going...but it dries white. I've used my heat gun to dry it faster and get it to turn white faster.
I've also used it as a base layer under the other colors...like, after I've sprayed the tag, I stamped it, then colored in with the white, dried it, and then used another color over it. That way the other color was more true than if I just used the other color alone...which tended to turn out a bit muddied.
Those are just my initial impressions...I haven't used them on stamps or anything yet. I'll try to get the tags I made posted to my blog soon and post a link so you can see what I'm talking about.

I saw the video demo, and they looked way awesome :)
