I ordered a roll of paper from them in February. I was under the impression it would be there quickly, but it took over a month. I ended up buying different paper to get my work done. I intended to come in and buy it anyhow, but I've been really stressed about my senior project- which I'm presenting to my faculty tomorrow morning. This evening a received a call from the guy working there that was very rude, basically saying not to shop at Colors anymore. It took them like a month to get the paper in (or at least contact me about it) but then he was calling all the time. I'm a busy person. A full time student. A double major. Technically I have three jobs and no time to sleep. I still intended to buy the paper anyhow since apparently it's a huge problem for them to just put it in their shop inventory. What a jerk, though.

Not being one who shops around for art supplies, I may be wondering if $7 for a marker is a fair price or not. Quite pretentious and suspicious to not want patrons to make sure you are being fair and honest in...
Read moreArt supplies for the serious artist found here! Things you can't find at Michaels. I needed to spend around $400 on a studio easel and went here to get some guidance. I ended up spending a bit more but only because I opted for a sturdier product with more functions. The person working was named Emerald and she was super helpful, knowledgeable and provided me many options to satisfy what I was seeking. I even got a follow-up call from her asking how i liked the purchase.
