Copic Collection — Description
Okay, here it is. My current Copic marker count (Including Refills)

I've been using Copics for almost 5 years now. INSANITY RIGHT?
Now, I'm a huge fan of ink markers and have used many, from Copic, Prismacolor, Chartpak, Promarkers, all the way to the many different brands of Paint Markers.
Copic DEFINITELY takes the cake for me.

I remember when I first got Copics. I asked for some for Christmas back in 2010. After opening my gifts, I realized I didn't get them, which was okay, I was happy with what I had received.
But then my mom came out of her room with a "Surprise gift" Which were my first ever copics.
It was a set of 36 she bought off Ebay, they weren't a legit set, and it just had a bunch of random colors. (Actual picture of them can be seen here samcolwell.deviantart.com/art/… )

I was fucking stoked.

And now, almost 5 years from then, this is where I am. I have a majority of the colors now and am only really missing about 100. I will eventually get them in the future, but for this year I was mainly concerned about getting refills (bottom right) for the colors I used the most.

In July, I was able to visit the Blick Store in Boston, which has ALL copic marker colors and refills.
Lets just say, I spent almost $300 on markers and refills there. Literally all of the money I brought was spent on markers.

This is currently my "Marker bag". It's an old Air Canada travel bag that my mom received a few years ago because she travels a lot. Back in 2013, I took it and rigged it up to hold my markers, So I don't have to sift through multiple pencil cases to get the color I needed. I took this bag to school with me EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
And now that I am done school, it simple stays next to my bed.
I actually tried to upgrade my bag, and tried to buy the actual Copic Marker carrying bag, so that I could hold ALL of my markers, including paint markers. But fucking Amazon wouldn't ship to Canada, the Copic site was sold out and Ebay wanted almost $200 for it, so I figured I'd wait for a while.

And before anyone comments about the colors not being organized (Because I posted the same thing on Instagram, and EVERYONE and their mother commented about how I should organize the colors)

I CHOOSE to have it unorganized.

I like the colors being all mixed up, so I keep it dysfunctional.
