CHARTPAK MARKERS

[pfarr]

im having a bitch of a time finding somewhere that carries them. Loomis and currys are not carrying them anymore.

Is there another brand of marker that anyone has found comes relatively close to the Chartpaks?

- thx

Hi Paul,

You are more than welcome to buy any brand of marker you like, but I have to warn you: don't be surprised if you don't get the same results as what you see in the demos I do in class. Unfortunately, nothing on the market today comes close to the performance of the Chartpak AD markers.

With that said though, your best bet for getting your hands on Chartpak markers is to go to Aboveground Art Supplies in downtown Toronto. They are located just south of the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) on McCaul Street (two blocks west of University, just north of Queen Street) in an old house that's painted pale green. The store itself is actually owned by OCAD and is the school's "official" book/supply store. The last time I was in there (about two weeks ago), they had A LOT of Chartpaks. I think they are about $3.99 each.

Check them out on the web: www.abovegroundartsupplies.com

Hope that helps.

Hey guys,

Can anyone type out the list of the Chartpak markers we need to get as per Mike's printed out page (the one with the different colored cubes he gave us a few weeks back) and post it online.

Thanks again,

Dan.

Hi Dan,

Here's the colour list, along with the corresponding ChartPak marker number:

No. Colour:
P-7 Navy Blue
P-20 Evergreen
P-26 Forest Green
P-42 Cadmium Yellow
P-44 Banana
P-62 Chrome Orange
P-64 Cadmium Orange
P-69 Redwood
P-71 Burnt Umber
P-83 Ruby
P-85 Maroon
P-95 Violet
P-104 Light Blue
P-112 Frost Blue
P-118 Pale Lime
P-133 Maize
P-160 Salmon*
P-178 Light Sand
P-210 Purple Iris
P-215 Violet Light

* Note: P-160 Salmon is no longer be available from ChartPak. If you can still find it, by all means buy it. But if you can't you can use the P-81 Scarlet or P-82 Crimson as suitable substitutes.

I've posted the original handout that I gave everyone in the Course Outlines and Handouts section too. That section is password controlled, because I don't want people who AREN'T students to have access to that information, so if you (or anyone) wants to download the handout again, send me a quick email or a private message here on the site and I will give you the password.

You're welcome Dan!

And thanks for the offer to pick me up stuff from Aboveground, but I'm good.

Hope you find everything you're looking for there.

Mike
