Ughhhj WHY won't OLO stock their stuff at Allard's??? Why they gotta do only Blick and random indie stores in the middle of nowhere? 
i even asked the people at my local Allard's if they had asked OLO about stocking their markers, and OLO apparently rejected their offer. [Cries]
The issue is: Allard's is the only high class art supply store within two hours of me. Blick's is all the way in San Francisco (4 hour drive OR $150 train tix plus Uber costs). The nearest store that stocks OLO on their store locator is this mom-and-pop place in a town about 2 hours north of me. It's in the middle of nowhere, and even the intercity buses like Greyhound don't service the place. I'm still rocking a driver's permit so I don't have a lot of means to get myself there without having to involve my parents, who prefer I go on wild goosechases for art supplies without their help.
Obviously I can buy OLO from the site directly, but I have no way of matching colors to my Copic collection that way. Need to test them in person.Sep 20, 2024
