Introducing: Shantell Martin and Krink K-51 Permanent Ink Markers

Shantell Martin (@shantell_martin) is an artist based in NY. Her go-to Krink marker to create fluid, bold lines is the K-51 Permanent Ink Marker. This year Martin was invited to create an immersive, site specific installation in Lincoln Center for the seventh edition of the New York City Ballet’s Art Series. The Art Series was built on the NYCB’s history of collaborating with emerging and established artists and continues to intersect performing and visual arts.

Here’s Martin using the K-51 Permanent Ink Marker in her installation and performance.

The K-51‘s Super Black alcohol-based ink is permanent and opaque, and works well on almost everything. Excellent for use on paper, cardboard, metal, and painted surfaces. With a 30ml capacity and a 15mm block nib, best results are achieved on smooth surfaces. A great marker for larger drawing, making signs, and calligraphy.

K-42 Opaque Permanent Paint Marker

The K-42 is a classic paint marker. It comes in 17 colors, here Larson uses Light Blue, Orange, and Yellow. The alcohol-based paint is permanent, opaque, and non-toxic. The marker features a broad-tip with valve-action so that the artist can lay down an abundance of color while strictly regulating the paint’s flow. Handmade in the USA.

K-70 Permanent Ink Marker

This marker is a great all-around marker for everyday use. It has a large capacity and valve-action tip, so it can easily be re-inked and last a long time. Additionally, the nib is double sided, with a 3mm bullet tip on one side and a 5mm chisel tip on the other! High quality alcohol-based ink is permanent, opaque, and excellent for use on paper, cardboard, metal, and painted surfaces.
