ok store. hours are shady (been there twice days they were to be open to see a closed sign and a dark store) prices are average. it would be nice if they offered a coupon once in a while since theres little to no discount, something to encourage regulars from going to Blick where theres 40% off coupons once a month

Dude has paint at a better price than michaels and blick and is actually heavily involved in the art community around him. Not just there to make a buck and bail, like the corporate places. People think it’s easy to run your own business and please everyone but these corporate places have specialist they hire to know you and treat you exactly how you’d want while getting all your money at the same time… I’d rather support independent local business than have a 90 year old person in a blue vest greet me at The door. SUPPORT LOCAL INDEPENDENT BUSINESS !

I bought a set of colored pencils but was not happy with the pigment; they just weren’t great quality. I went back and asked if I could exchange them for a few markers instead, and the guy said, «Hell yeah!» He was super nice and more than happy to do whatever necessary to make me a satisfied customer. I totally value that kind of top notch customer service. Thank you!

I’ve been to this store several times. Every time I go to visual I receive the same terrible service. Sadly this is one of the few art stores left in san diego that stocks high quality paint.
I’m not asking for much. But If I come into your store at least acknowledge that I’m in the store. Even if you’re busy just say «hey I’ll be with you in a few minutes.». However the guy in charge ignored me and walked into the back. After a few minutes he comes back and I ask a question. He gives me a one word response and walks away from me.
I wish I could say this was isolated incident but any time I go to visual this happens.
But what can you do.

This is a cool shop! They have awesome art on the walls and there is a great selection of spray paint, markers, and other art supplies. Also, I bought a really cool book about the art of sign painting for my friend for Christmas. There’s also T shirts and hats. Love it!
The dude that wrote the first review is much more interested in the owner personally than the shop itself. My experience was totally pleasant.
