Here are a few places to get cheap art supplies. Several of these also send out email coupons and specials. ASW just did a $1 clearance sale on a bunch of stuff. I managed to get the Koi waterbrushes I had been looking at for $1 a piece.

If I'm looking for a particular thing, I'll always compare prices between these places to find the best deal.

Yes, you can find worthwhile professional quality art supplies on ebay for cheap. I bought a Julian French Traveling easel last year, and it was worth every penny. I think I saved $30 from list prices. Ebay is also a great place to find vintage equipment too.

A blog that updates less frequently that I would like, yet contains some of the most original work I've seen lately.
