I used a thin tip Sharpie, a fat tip Sharpie, and a dollar bill with ink on it for my three mark making devices. The fat tip and the dollar bill both began to produce more interesting results while the thin Sharpie results really just looked like sketches. I drew these all up systematically. I went through the set of nine and then redid the one I like least, a little differently though. This gave me ten icons with each tool. The dollar was chosen so some conceptual context was maintained between the material and the subject matter. The dollar bill was the only one of my artifacts I could use to make effective and controlled marks with so I tried it out. The results were a little hit and miss. Some icons work and some are a little vague looking.
