heres some links to shops that are based in the UK www.thelayup.com stock belton and have a large choice of markers www.graphotism.com the distributer for montana gold, black and platinum in the UK www.eatthebeat.co.uk bristol based site that started selling paint recently. they also sell loads of different styles of music (including funk ) www.wickedpaint.com good shipping prices but the website doesnt have an accurate colour palette but email them and they can send you some charts. this is probably the better place to buy caps from for starting out www.monstercolors.com their paint isnt great but they do some decent budget deals and you can get "hello my name is..." stickers. they sell decent pens aswel www.molotow.de belton distribution for europe but last time i checked weren't shipping overseas. its a good site for info though if you want to start sketching, go to the graphics shop in kingston thats across the road from natterjacks. theyv got loads of quality pens and sketchbooks and a good choice of canvus'. in terms of paint, id definately recommend getting belton if you can afford it, theyv got the best colours aswel IMO, otherwise go with montana from graphotism
