POSCA: The Ultimate Paint Marker for Fine Art, Design, and Street Art

POSCA paint markers and pens, created by Uni Mitsubishi Pencil in 1983, have become an essential tool for artists and hobbyists alike. POSCA offers unmatched versatility and vibrant, matt colours which can be applied to most surfaces.

Developed by Uni, whose history dates back to 1886, POSCA markers embody exceptional Japanese craftsmanship and innovation. Their water-based, odourless, and lightfast pigment paint is renowned for its brilliance and resistance to ageing and weather.

POSCA markers have become a favourite among creative communities worldwide. They are designed to work on almost any surface, from plastic and wood to glass, textiles, and canvas.

Initially embraced by graffiti artists for their convenience and adaptability, POSCA quickly transcended the urban art scene to be adopted by studio artists and hobbyists. This exchange solidified POSCA's credibility and popularity across diverse disciplines.

POSCA markers’ bright, deep colours and reliable performance make them a go-to for bold, expressive works. Meanwhile, POSCA pens with precision tips are available in pin, chisel, bullet, and brush options. These cater to both detailed and loose, experimental techniques.

For those just starting out, POSCA Marker and Pen Sets are a great way to explore new ranges and shades. They are available in a wide range of shapes and themes.

Loved for their rich pigments and durability, POSCA markers and paint pens continue to inspire creativity on every surface, offering versatile quality for professionals and beginners alike.


‘I use Posca Pens a lot in all my work, mostly for drawing outlines over acrylic paint on mixed media work, and for writing text on and over works as well. They are very opaque, solid and beautiful to use.

They dry super-fast, so are really good for layering. And, they are very smooth and glide across the surface, the flow is 100% perfect, and they work well with acrylic paint for highlights and layering effects. They are the elite!’
