Does anybody have any tips for moving with Copics and paints? All my stuff is going to be put in a truck and driven from CA to VA, then possibly put in storage for 1-3 mos and I’m trying to decide if that’s safe for them. Or I could try to cram into my suitcase, but 100+ markers and 30+ bottles of various ink take up substantial space. This is what I’ve done in the past, but I didn’t have so many!

Do I ziploc them to catch leakage? Is there a way to store them to prevent leaks??? I’ve had a bottle of ink explode just sitting in an artbox under my desk before and it’s terrible.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks! ♡

Details of “Obsessions”!

The goal for this was to play with subtle colors in a way I don’t typically use, hence the blotches of pink, red, purple, and blue.  The colors around the eye turned out the best, I think.

I also wanted to visually convey the idea of the song’s theme of obsessive thoughts and the need to find anyway you can to drive them out.  It’s a need for release from those thoughts and ideas that possess you, the feeling that you need to toss your head back and let them burst out.  As the thoughts pass by other thoughts, like bubbles floating, they get murky and begin to mix.
