Just got the prognosis. I have the Black Marker Finger. It comes from being exposed to the ink from markers staining your finger during use. It's most common among artists, middle school poster makers and elementary students. It's contagious and unfortunately fatal. I'll draw until the day I die. #sharpie #copic #fabercastell #itsjustamarker #illustration #endofsarcasm
