Claim:
1. A marker airbrush device comprising: an airbrush housing comprising an air outlet having an air outlet opening positioned on a horizontal axis of the airbrush housing and a trigger for controlling an amount of air travelling through the air outlet; and a marker positioner coupled to the airbrush housing, the marker positioner configured to secure a marking device comprising a marker first end having a marker nib portion and a marker second end opposite the marker first end, wherein the marker positioner comprises a conical tip having an interior surface that defines a hollow interior for accepting the marker first end of the marking device, wherein the air outlet opening is formed in the interior surface of the conical tip and wherein a central axis of the conical tip is in a non-collinear position at a first angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees relative to the horizontal axis on which the air outlet opening is positioned, wherein the marker positioner positions the marker first end of the marking device at a second angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees relative to the air outlet opening such that air traveling through the air outlet opening enters the hollow interior of the conical tip and contacts at least a portion of the marker nib portion of the marking device within the airbrush housing at the second angle less than 90 degrees and greater than 0 degrees to transfer marking solution from the marking device via the air outlet at a position internal to the airbrush housing onto a writing surface external to the airbrush housing, wherein the conical tip comprises a conical tip opening through which air travelling from the air outlet opening exits the hollow interior of the conical tip after contacting at least the portion of the marker nib portion, the conical tip opening being positioned on the central axis of the conical tip, wherein the marker airbrush device is configured to removably couple the marking device by coupling at least a portion of the marker first end of the-marking device via the marker positioner while maintaining at least a portion of the marker second end opposite the marker first end of the marking device in a position external to the airbrush housing.
