I just picked up a handful of Blick markers. Are they any good? I’ve used AD and Prismacolor, are these better, worse, or about the same?

hey Kuya Rics…I’m being sustainable here.. I’m not going to push that big rock… I’m just gonna try and go around it.. 😉

Haha, Master, by the tone of your response, you seem ready to push that big rock…hehehe!

Here is my 2centavos worth…

As a former educator: I see any LA curriculum to be a foundation of sorts to an any budding landscape architect. We can teach the person in theory how do things, and be responsible for things (stewards of the environment, etc..), but in the end, it is through that budding landscape architect’s own free will what…[Read more]

Coming from my Boss, these are indeed insightful words. Hehe, mamam!
