Busted out the Copics to compare to my ancient alcohol based markers (almost 20 year old markers called "Design Art Marker" by Eberhard Faber). They still work. Wow, I guess I had good taste even back then. They look the same, pretty much, but I didn't know how to blend them back then. I read somewhere that companies use different formulas so they won't mix well together, but I didn't try that. Hate to waste paper, ha!
I also busted out the Gypsy that was feeling a bit neglected... haven't glued them together yet, but here's a start. This is from the "Freshly Picked" cartridge. Not sure what to do with them next, but it kept me occupied for an hour while I watched TV. Relaxing!
Ah, my discontinued markers were bought by Sanford (Prismacolor) and then discontinued. They're "Xylene" (poison?) markers, whatever that is. Apparently they're a legendary cult classic. Maybe I should sell them.... like those beanie babies in the basement....
