These markers have plenty of ink, but the nibs leave much to be desired, and they don't really play well with other markers. These aren't the worst alcohol based markers I've ever tested- that honor is shared by Concept and Fab, but these are a far cry from Copic, Prismacolor, or Shin Han Twin Touch. Packaging promises a 'professional graphic art marker', 'for all areas of design and illustration', 'versatile double nibs chisel & extra fine can produce a range of strokes from fine detail to wide color fill in'. They may have just changed the body design. I tried to find these markers online, and can't but, I did find this other set, which is the same price. Only set my Hobby Lobby had, your selection may vary. 18 colors (advertises 12 primary colors+6 bonus colors).I paid $29.99 at Hobby Lobby in early September- this is approximately $1.67 per marker, which is really cheap for alcohol based markers. I want bragging rights for most alcohol based marker reviews, and like with Pokemon, I gotta catch them all.

While I was there, I saw that my local Hobby Lobby had a storebrand of alcohol based markers, and I figured I'd review them for you guys, because at heart, I'm a completionist. I don't normally shop at Hobby Lobby, and one visit does not a hobby (lobby) make. I went to Hobby Lobby to buy a watercolor sketchbook upon a Youtube recommendation. Sometimes that's the hardest part of the post- it has to tie in with the review, but I really want it to be at least moderately amusing for those of you who just aren't that into art supply reviews. I usually attempt to write a cute or funny little intro for all of my review posts.
