As Kuya Ers replied via text: "Kurecolor! Blast from the past!"
Indeed, Kurecolor is as current as the first generation square Mac computer. (The one that still came with a floppy disk drive.) With graphic artists now using Photoshop to do everything - from sketching to coloring - gone are the days when Kurecolor was a must-have for any advertising agency.
The past few weeks, I've been looking for those Kurecolor boxed sets. The ones that come in 12 colors per pack. The ones that Kuya Ers and Kuya Nips used to color our storyboards with in Adformatix. But because people don't use it as much, it's not that easy to find them.
National Bookstore has them, but they sell them in pieces instead of sets. The sad part is that their color selection is limited. Out of around 70 colors, they only have 30ish. If we were in the 90s, I would have immediately gone to St. Patrick's to get my art supplies there. Unfortunately, this is 2008 and I don't think they have St. Patrick's anymore.
They aren't available in Hong Kong as well. After going in and out of bookstores and art stores there early this month, they weren't available as well. Gosh! Where have all the Kurecolors gone?
As the saying goes, beggars can't be choosers. I ended up buying 4 colors instead of 4 boxes. These are the colors needed at the moment, so I'll make do with these first.
But I'll be looking for those boxes. And I'm going to find them.
