As the BTC price goes up, the tariff goes up, art supply prices go up.
I try to stock my art supplies in advance.
Also I think about keeping and changing my art practices inside the range that I can afford.
It is a challenge, But it shows me new avenues to explore and is a fun thing to do.
What tariffs are you talking about?
I haven't heard anything about Trump following through with the tariffs. Which country are you in?
I am in the US.
Art supplies prices have been going up consistently in recent years. But this is not due to tariffs yet.
You are right - Trump may not follow through his tariffs. But once it is on even for temporarily, art supplies will be very expensive that I cannot afford. Since most of things are imported.
Since I rely on imported papers, I am afraid that I cannot afford ha

Sorry to hear about that. Where do you get your Art supplies from?
I know I stocked up on sketchbooks and journals when my local Staples shut down. And I did the same when a local art store closed down. I unwittingly got Japanese watercolors for like $5.
But I know places like Michaels and Dick Blick have sales all the time.
Oh you are in the US!
I use Dick Blick online and local stores (but more expensive). Jerry art supplies online (does not charge sales taxes). https://www.jerrysartarama.com/
Since i am in the new york, they still have some physical stores that I can browse stuff,
Yea, home base is in the US. The last couple of years I've been moving around though.
Didn't know about Jerry's! But yea, the best deals I've gotten is when a store is closing down. Which is super sad.
I like the deals.
Jerry's is good; they match their prices with Blick but because of taxes i can save some. But they have fewer products than Blick.
