Stuart Ng Books are not an artist supply shop, they are an online book store that focus on comic and animation related books. They collect artists sketch books [ie books self published by artists featuring a selection of their sketch work done for cons] at various cons in the US and Europe to sell via their site. They also import franco/belgian comics for the US market. Anyone in Ireland looking to buy Franco/Belgian comics would be better shopping at Alapage.com or amazon.fr as prices are alot cheaper, in euros and shipping from France over California.

For online art supplies Cork Art supplies are very quick and not too pricey but have limited selection. Dick Blick would be the largest online art supplier, prices can be cheap but depending on the weight and amount your buying shipping can get costly. Other good online art supply stores would Pearl Paint, Utrecht and New York Central. For online manga supplies including Deleter nibs and inks check Akadot.com Deleter nibs and inks are sold in Dublin at A4 art supply beside NCAD, along with a wide selection of copic markers. Other art supply shops worth checking are Evens, Kenndy's and O'Sullivans in Dublin

Dublin City Comics have moved with Story and Modelmania in Crow St, Temple Bar modsnip.

They can be contacted at dublincitycomics@yahoo.com.

Fysh Sez: Talking about what stock a retailer carries or what prices they charge takes us far too close to advertising territory, folks. This thread is for listing shop contact information.
