I, like many caricaturists worldwide, depend on Prismacolor's Art Stix for our livelihood. These tools are not just instruments; they are the lifeblood of our craft. The discontinuation of this product has left a gaping hole in the caricature industry, forcing artists to resort to inferior replacements or pay exorbitant prices on online platforms like eBay where a set can cost upwards of $100.

Prismacolor's Art Stix were unique in their quality and performance. They were loved and depended upon by artists across the globe. However, despite numerous attempts from us - the artist community - to communicate our concerns with Prismacolor, we have been met with silence.

The impact is real and significant. Caricature is an art form that brings joy and humor into people's lives while providing a livelihood for thousands of artists worldwide. Without access to quality tools like Art Stix, both these aspects are threatened.

We urge Prismacolor not only as consumers but as ambassadors of art itself: bring back your Art Stix! Our craft depends on it; our livelihood depends on it! Sign this petition today if you believe in preserving artistic integrity and supporting global artist communities.
