Colorful

At the art supplies store: fun with Dan and Dennis.

Color is today's DDW challenge.

Dan (upper left) and Dennis are two colorful characters lurking among the jazzy pens and snazzy papers at Dick Blick Art Materials.
Dan, the guy who nicknamed me 'the Pen Lady,' used to work at Utrecht Art Supplies, a national chain.
Dennis, previously seen here, used to work at Art Media, a local chain.
Dick Blick barged into Portland and swallowed up first Art Media and then Utrecht.
At least they kept jobs for Dan and Dennis.
They did not, however, have the pen I came here in search of today.
I made up for the disappointment by hanging out with the guys, who are lots of fun.

We love art supplies.
Shopping for them when we're blue
puts us in the pink.
