Ermegherd...Haven't heard back from Gary himself yet, but noticed others selling his line BPs for 500-750. Didn't even realize how much a price difference there was between regular black pastels and liesens. Oh well, I guess as with anything else, great quality costs significantly more I was expecting around 300, 350.

Depending on his reply, looks like my dark project will be requiring more savings than originally expected. Worth the wait I'm sure
