MisterArt owns my soul. 0.o

I just renewed my VIP membership for a year and mail-ordered a "Copic Marker Sketchbook" ... no terribly big thing in and of itself ... except the whole time a little voice kept saying into my ear...

"Tria marker set ... 72 colors for only $250..."

Begone, voice of temptation! Until I start putting some actual use into the Prismacolors that I bought A YEAR AGO and have only done like five pieces with, I'm not getting Trias! You can't make me!

"Put the Prismacolors up on eBay ... I'm sure some other artist out there would loooove to have them..."

No! Lemme alone!

As someone who's used Trias in the past, trust me... they're not really "all that and a bag of chips." :)

Yeah, the refillability and the replacable nibs are kinda nice, in theory... in practice, I found that you could generally only do a refill twice, at most, before the wretched things would start leaking all over the place.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't know ... the grays died, so I bought replacements; random ones out of the blue and green leak all over me. But most seem to be in fairly good shape still.
