This is Charlie Kratzer's basement. Twenty or so years ago, he decided that he wanted to fill his home with Impressionist art, realizing then that to be able to feasibly do that, he would have to make it himself. Ten dollars worth of Sharpie later, Kratzer's basement features black-line, Sharpie-fied versions of several Picassos, Seurat's Sunday Afternooon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, and the portraits of such distinguished figures from literature as Hercule Poirot, Sherlock Holmes and R2D2.
