We had thunderstorms this afternoon, so I turned the computer off and played with the Copic markers I got at A-Kon instead. Did I mention that? Copic had a booth set up in the exhibitors' hall and sold markers for $4.75/each, instead of the $5.95 they are at full price.* :D And they gave me two free markers - I dropped almost $100 on them as this year's Big A-Kon Splurge.
And I've played with them and learned that I
still don't have enough colors. I guess that's the way the world works.
Anyway, I also got a pad of marker paper from them and a How To Use Copic book, which for once actually turned out useful.
( Koumyo Sanzo in marker )* They're more expensive than Prismacolors, but they're refillable and you can buy new nibs, so over the long term they're a better deal.
