PITTSBURGH, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharpie® is expanding its partnership with 2026 Sharpie Rookie of the Year Jeremiyah Love by bringing "Jeremonstar" – a comic universe inspired by his personal journey – to life through a limited-edition comic book and custom suit for Draft night featuring artwork created with Sharpie. The partnership with Jeremonstar reinforces the brand's commitment to creativity and self-expression, helping Jeremiyah make his mark on this milestone moment.

As part of the partnership, Sharpie is supporting Love's passion for storytelling through the release of "Jeremonstar: Draft Day Ashcan," a limited-edition comic capturing his journey to the league. The artwork was created using a range of items from Sharpie's portfolio, like the Sharpie S-Gel Pen and the Sharpie Ultra Fine point permanent marker, giving artists the versatility to perform multiple techniques from outlining characters with brush-like strokes to quick detail lines for costumes and backgrounds.

The 16-page, black-and-white ashcan-style comic serves as a physical hype piece for the career-defining moment and the growing Jeremonstar universe. The manga-size booklet features a new storyline, letters from his parents and behind-the-scenes content, giving fans a new way to experience and connect with Love. The "Jeremonstar: Draft Day Ashcan" comic retails for $7 and is available for purchase at www.jeremonstarcomics.com.

"Sharpie is all about making bold, lasting statements which I try to do on the field as well as off with my Jeremonstar comic and being able to bring both together is next level," said Love. "It tells the story of the hard work behind my journey to Draft night, so having the artwork inside my jacket makes it feel even more real."

On Draft night, Love will bring the story to life, debuting a custom suit featuring a new Jeremonstar character illustration from the new comic inside the jacket liner. The artwork moves from page to suit, demonstrating Sharpie's promise of making legendary moments even bolder.

"This partnership is rooted in what Sharpie has always stood for: helping people make their mark in moments that matter. We're excited to support Jeremiyah throughout his rookie season and help him bring his creative vision to life in a way that connects all of his passions," said Kris Malkoski, President of the Learning and Development Segment at Newell Brands.

As the 2026 Sharpie Rookie of the Year, Love's Draft moment marks a key milestone in the partnership, which will continue through his rookie season and the moments that define it. From Draft night to signing his rookie contract and connecting with new fans, Sharpie's high-performance product lineup, including the Sharpie S-Gel pen, Permanent and Creative Markers, will be part of his journey as he makes his mark. Building on that foundation, Sharpie is also supporting Love's passion for storytelling through Jeremonstar, extending the relationship beyond traditional endorsement into co-creation.
