If you could have anything you wanted, what would it be? Well this has been what's popped into my head for the last several years. Copic Sketch markers. I even came close to
actually purchasing them once! Good thing I didn't though, 'cause my freelance gig went south, checks bounced, and my bank account was drained. It was so close though.. Now I just check
DickBlick and
Jerry's Artarama on a daily basis, hoping for a 20% off sale or something (not that I'd even have that much). The treasured 72 Set A is usually about $327.10 on either site. These are not disposable markers-- each one is refillable and you can even change out the nibs if they get all scuzzy. The next time your little bastard nephew gets ahold of one and smashes the tip down, no worries! It's easily replaceable. And your nephew is still young enough that you can beat the crap out of him without much effort. Technically, you can build your own marker-- buy an empty marker body, the nibs you want, and fill it with whatever refill cartridge you want. They can also be used with an air can (also sold by Copic) to air brush. Wow. Another nifty feature in the shape of the marker bodies. The Copic Sketch bodies are oval, so they will not roll all over the place. They have 2 ends (one is brush-like and the other is a chisel shape). The Copic Original markers feature square bodies and different nibs (one is a chisel and the other is sort of like your typical sharpie nib).
