Blick Art Materials — Local services in New York

I love everything about Blick, but as a Combat Veteran in the Marines, it saddens me that Blick does not have a Veteran's discount. Also, the sales advertising was misleading.

Wonderful store. My dad who is 96 (going on 97) requested that I replace his stubby pencils from his huge Prismacolor collection at the Glick store on Union Square. Nick and Josiah methodically collected all the colors (about 35?) and sent them to us by express mail. Dad sketched a drawing that day. We are so immensely grateful for these guys and everything they do for the neighborhood. Incidentally my father was an architect whose office was around the corner and his whole life he loved to draw and paint. But his big accomplishment was co-founding the Greenmarket, right across the street from Glick. An...
