Hey guys, so if you read my blog, you know I have a lot of markers. I already have a system set up to store my Copics, but I have Prismacolor, Mexby, and Shenhen Twin Touch markers that I need to store. Originally, I was using these cases from Utrecht, which I got on sale for $3.99, which is kind of like the best deal I'd ever seen for marker cases. And they have 24 slots in them, but unfortunately, I don't know if you can see that, for it to close, it like pushes the markers apart. So I wanted something a little bit better. And also I wanted something that could hold and keep organized my different collections. So I ended up ordering this art bin from Amazon because it was on sale. I want to say it was like 13 bucks and the additional tray because it comes with one tray. The additional tray was $5.99, which is such a great deal. And I've apparently pushed it out of place. Whoops. But I thought that if it could store my markers, and this is, as I try to fix this, this is a vertical storage. So what I'm going to actually do is stand it up on the hinge edge. And because your marker should be stored horizontally, especially twin tip markers, otherwise, it's going to lead to an uneven distribution of ink. And it might lead you to think your markers are dry when they've just been improperly stored. If you ever get a marker, if you have an order marker online and it seems dry, it could be dry, or it could have just been improperly stored. Either case, they should probably replace it for you. So I guess this is a good time for me to show. I'm not going to take this one out because I am afraid I'll never get it back in because I'm having a really hard time getting the other one in. It's got these sliding white pegs. They only go in in one orientation, which is this. And it's got like a little shelf on the bottom to get it to click. That you click to get it to stay in place, but I can't do that. So I'm going to go in list the help of an adult. I'll be right back. All right, so my adult pushed it in the place. It seems to take some force from my adult part. So if you have weak baby hands like mine or arthritis or you just have trouble with these kind of things, you're going to need someone else to help you. Anyway, once that's done, it's supposed to slide into these guides on either side. So I have two seconds and I can remove this if I want to. I am yet decided if I want to. So let's find out what this baby will hold. Here we have Prisma color markers. I've already sorted them out the way I personally like to sort them. And what's nice about this is that it's supposed to be able to hold 64 markers I think in each. Yeah, 64 markers in each. That's a lot of markers, especially if you're just using it to hold and organize like a second collection. So there's my Prisma colors. Now for the MaxP markers. Okay, so it actually can't hold 64 because they won't go where these things, I don't know what the clips are. So technically it holds 60 markers in each container. So 120 markers. Oh, okay, all right. I'd let someone borrow these and they're a little out of order, but not a lot out of order. It doesn't hold the markers, it's particularly snug. The square markers are a little snugger. So if you have a Copic original collection that you want to store, this would be a good option for you, especially considering it was fairly affordable, especially compared to other marker storage units. They can sometimes get expensive. And where the track, this thing, like where this thing you're supposed to go, it is raised. So it's going to push your markers up a little bit. All right. So still got plenty of space. I'm going to remove my Shinhon Twin Touch markers from the storage they're currently in and get back to you guys. All right. So all my Shinhon Twin Touch markers are removed from the storage drawers that I had them in. And I really didn't like those storage drawers. So I am very excited to be able to slide over to something a little bit better. When I collect markers, other than for testing purposes, it's to fill in the holes that the Copic family has. And in general, Copic does a really good job of not having too many holes, but I still, there's still some colors it doesn't do as well as it could, or some colors that I have had trouble getting hold of. So I'm going to sort these by color family and just kind of roughly. And as you can see, they fit pretty well into this. And I'm trying to keep like a slot in between the markers and we'll see how well that works. I might regret that and end up redoing it. So what are your favorite brands of markers to use? And what's your favorite storage system for your markers? Hmm, see, I might regret this, but maybe not. This might actually work, okay. Oh, and if you watch my video reviews of which there are a few, but not too many, if you watch my video reviews, you might notice that I don't actually have, I don't have my Dick Blake markers out. And that's because they are mixed in with my Copics because I want to make sure I use them. I really like them. I really like Shinhand Twin Touch too. I try to pull them out. That's why they live on my desk is so that I'll remember that I have them. Hmm. Kind of like the system and I kind of don't like the system that I set up. I have all these blues that I need to find a home for now. Right, nothing more exciting than watching somebody organize their markers while talking to you, huh? Back in the day when I reviewed Shinhand, they were a lot cheaper than Copic markers. And now they're almost the same price because so many people like them. Okay. And it looks like you can be able to store it the correct way without it falling, them falling out, which is exciting. I have to show you guys pictures. And I'm working on getting my desk reorganized to better facilitate me using markers. So I could even like remove the top from this, which probably isn't a good idea, but it wouldn't be like hanging out all over the place like it's doing now. Yeah, I'm excited about this. So so far, so good, so far. I am enjoying my art, bin, marker storage, satchel. And I'll hopefully be able to post pictures for you guys later on when my studio is rearranged, reorganized, and I can get to work again. So thank you for watching. Bye guys.
