me: feeling sad again... in a way "gosh, why, not again please, I've settled things down, it's getting better, so just why?
occasional cat on the street: hello there!
me: hello! cheering up

وقال إيه جيّ الزمان يداوينا!
من إيه جاي يا زمان تداوينا
دا الأمل في عينينا، والفرح حوالينا
سأل الزمان وقال .. إيه غَيّر الأحوال؟
قلناله حبينا حبينا، وارتاحنا ونسينا الجرح بتاع زمان

Woke up at 3am. Don't look bad considering.
Goodnight Moon.
My mum bought this huge 28 Sharpie pen set and never used them. I finally claimed them as mine lol. It's the most extensive set I've seen, and I have two large sets already and keep a lookout for any other sets on ebay that would be a good deal. I was worried they might not work, but they're fine.
Sharpies are really underrated as drawing markers. Granted, they're expensive, but a lot of art markers are. I love Winsor and Newton Promarkers, but those aren't cheap, so cash strapped artists should look for Letrasets instead - they're basically the same. Spectrum Noir are also a good budget buy.
They are also some good unbranded general markers (I own a set). You just have to hunt around, try things out, and don't assume expensive = the best. I've got some awesome brush sets that cost less than one expensive name brand brush. Like I said, look around and try things out.
I think the only brand that truly has no exact match are Sennelier Oil Pastels. The set I have that came closest to them was an Artist's Loft set, but even then Sennelier is just in a class of its own. Funnily enough, their Acrylic Paints are cheap in contrast to their pastels, and they are good paints.
One day I will re-write my guide to good, cheap art buys. It was flattering to actually be told I produced something useful to others. Unfortunately, it vanished with my old portfolio site since I couldn't afford to keep running it. But that's life when your poor I guess.
