As I was preparing to leave the apartment to head to the studio on Wednesday, I kept having this feeling that I wanted to go to Blick Art Supplies on Chestnut St. I hadn't been there in a while and I do like to browse art supplies stores once in a while. Blick doesn't have anything that I can't get at Artist and Craftsman, right around the corner from my studio and which keeps me knee-deep in the paper and panels that I use, but the feeling persisted, so after I unloaded my bag at the studio, rode over to Blick.
I guess that going to Blick was one of those things that was supposed to happen. As I was checking my backpack at the counter, the security guard handed me a store coupon for 25% off of purchases for that day only. Yes, I thought, this was supposed to happen...
