art supplies

Where is there a good art supply shop around here? I need somewhere with a large selection of pens because I'm looking to do a very specific project that has specific needs.

Any suggestions?

i'd second Playtime. they have a nice selection of pens and related items. always unexpectedly awesome for the random art supplies/craft needs. their dover book selection has been fantastic!

playtime is right on the bus line that goes to arlington center from clarendon hill out broadway. (at the intersection right before the parking lot end of broadway. if driving, parking on street, in that city lot, as well as free at the store around back.)

but, i'd also check pearl as well as artists supply across the street in central. bob slate, while nearby, is expensive.

(to save you time, you may wish to call these places before trekking out on your search.)
