SUPER BLACK DICK BLICK BOND BLOCK
A bunch of marker pick-ups from Dick Blick on Bond Street.
CHARTPAK FINE TIP SUPER BLACK
I don’t really give graphic design markers much props or elevated status in my marker collection. For something that is used by, and made for illustrators/graphic design people, I think these types of markers always look plain and void of design appeal. I guess this is kind of a nice change of...
