It's a 'Markette' - made by Dixon in Canada. It's very hard to find outside of Canada. Alot of caricaturists DON'T use this Markette. There are TONS of brush markers available. Find one that you can use comfortably and can get various lines with.
It's not the marker - it's the artist.

In Texas (or anywhere I guess) you can order Markettes from Herwecks in San Antonio. You won't find it listed on the website, but they DO carry them. Just call in to oder some. Although, last time I checked (JULY 06) they were out and waiting on an order to come in. |
