Hi everyone! I chose a winner for this box a little over a week ago but just realized I never announced it here (I announced it on Instagram stories) the winner is PullenVlogs on Instagram! Thank you all so much for entering, I will do more giveaways going forward!

MOST EXPENSIVE ART BOX!???! - hold my beer...

YESSS the ink bears are back

Please make a “bear essentials” pencil case, using your bear sketch’s. 🙏🙏😊😊

Hi everyone! In case some of you don’t fully go into the video a minute or two, I purchased this box from art snacks 2 months ago. I hope you take some time to read this 👇 This video is in no way me supporting plagiarism the creator of Inktober has been accused of. Had the situation happened now I clearly would not be buying the box, even though buying this box was a support to art snacks in my eyes. I’ve never actually purchased an official Inktober product directly before. I don’t even know if Jake gets a cut of this box (I did ask art snacks but that was confidential info). This video was initially 20 minutes long explaining the whole situation but based on lack of complete information, it was recommended to me to not post that just yet. The reason I am making a video is not because I am promoting any agenda, (you can’t even buy this box anymore) but this box is created by a small business - Artsnacks. They have a team of three people and work their butts off. I am certain they are taking a hit on this right now and I don’t want them to be penalized for it just because months ago the featured the Inktober brand. Also, Inktober goes FAR beyond the creator. Without the artists, Inktober would not be what it is. It brings the entire community together and I know a lot of people are choosing not to participate this year, but if you find solace and happiness in Inktober, that is your call to make. I was going to release this video last week but when everything hit the fan I didn’t want to look like I was jumping on the bandwagon. So I waited a week to film it and release it. Which is also why I am not releasing it on October 1st like last year so I don’t jump on the Inktober “trend” From my research, and from what I’ve seen from the book (I was sent a pre-release of the inktober book weeks ago) Alphonsos book was credited in the back of the Inktober book bibliography. Jakes book had over 150 pages and a lot of it was original from what I could tell, except for clearly, the many pages (formatting, layout of chapters/topics, wording, etc that is undeniably too similar to ignore) Alphonso saw. (For the record, I also purchased Alphonsos book out of support) So based on my research and some comments from an IP Attorney in Alphonso’s video, they said that may have happened is that Jake hired a team to compile the book and format it, lay it out, and most likely bought a bunch of books like Jakes to do so. Considering there were a lot of books in the bibliography of Jakes book, including Alphonsos, this could be a logical answer. And why I am waiting for a statement to be released from him. Clearly, if that is the case, it doesn’t take away from the fact that Alphonsos book was taken from in many aspects and someone will be in trouble for it as they rightfully should be. Jake has not yet been able to release a statement or even remotely been able to explain why there is blatant similarities between the two books. I am curious to hear this statement before I discuss any further. I am not friends with Jake but if he blatantly plagiarized I would generally be very surprised as someone who has published many books and has no need to copy someone else. So clearly something is going on. But perhaps that’s my “there has to be an answer for everything” side coming out. Initially this was a 20 minute because clearly, plagiarism is a SERIOUS issue and I would in no way EVER support plagiarism. Especially as an artist. However I cut out most of this due to being recommended to do so for now. When we have more information and facts and it’s a discussion I can have. I am not involved in this situation nor am I biased or friends with either artist. From a logical standpoint I’d just like to keep my eyes peeled for more information to come out. I have added links to the description of this video so you can do research too. Many people are on opposite ends of the spectrum about this so forming your own opinion based on research is important. So please check out the links in the description. Thank you!

side note CHLOE YOU DREW A PERFECT CIRCLE i'm so proud

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ACTUALLY LEAVING THE TEXT ON LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO READ IT

Did anyone else automatically think of We Bare Bears when you realized there was a grizly, a polar bear, and a panda?

"I'm not an art subscription box unboxing channel" - Chloe 2019 ~ 2020

i appreciate that chloe still posted this video. I also love that she explained where shes at with everything and her level of education with her opinion. For those that want to do a 31 day challenge but don't want to support Inktober or Jake Parker, i found a lovely promptlist from a tumblr artist SmallTownSpells called the Woodland Magic prompt list. its a lot more halloween themed so if you kinda wanna do a "spooktober" kind of thing youd enjoy their list!! i messaged the artist since they made the prompt in 2019 and they're cool with it being used this year :)

Jake Parker owns the brand "inktober" that doesn't mean we can't come together and draw for the month while enjoying new art mediums and or art supplies.

When Chloe says that the bears were just “doodles” and “sketches”, I just froze. Those are soooo good Chloe!! Also when she said she was drawing a penguin, I literally gasped... and then she said that she was drawing a bear, and I was like, ‘Chloe, you scared me!”

Chloe- takes the time to actually make videos and has phenomenal camera quality Other KZfaqrs- ART SUPPLY HUAL!!!!!!!!!!! Me- Thanks Chloe!

I would totally buy Chloe’s pencil cases 🤩

6:37 right before she said “Thunder” my stomach growled so loudly 😂🤦‍♀️

Chloe: opens $90 things normally Me: *opens $1 items like their a billion dollars*

*Me:* _"Ah, just when I was thinking to prepare for Inktober, a new video by Chloe related to it!"_ *Chloe:* starts cascading information about an Inktober controversy I was entirely unaware of *Me, dropping to my knees and screaming at the sky:* _"...2020!"_

Wow! I had no idea that ArtSnack box was only a 3 person company!! I thought it was a huge business! Good on them! They make incredible boxes!

I’m so glad you went ahead and posted this video! Whatever the situation turns out to be with Inktober, new art supplies are still so much fun, and ArtSnacks is a lovely company! I also ordered this ArtSnacks box in July, and I’ve been so sad to think that I might not be able to use it. But now I feel like I can go ahead and use it anyway for my own October art project.

I love the transparency that the video performed well so you wanted to make a sequel, and that you addressed the controversy whilst supporting a small business that isn't part of the controversy. I love your transparency in this video!

Thanks for going ahead and opening it. It’s so sad that the internet is so toxic that you have to go into a full explanation of how you don’t support someone else’s wrongdoing simply by purchasing a box from a different company that happens to be themed around their work. The content of your own character, which we know is upstanding, should be disclaimer enough.

Chloe: I am drawing a penguin. Me: Aww man! I thought she would draw a BEAR! Chloe: No kidding, *I AM DRAWING A BEAR* Me: ...

Chloe, I wanted so say thank u for keeping me entertained this past week I've been really ill and watching your videos has helped me not go insane while I've been stuck home. So thank u for always putting out awesome videos!

The controversy is totally blown out of proportion, until or if a legal case is made we should not draw conclusions. I admire your take on the art box which deserves reviewing! Thank you! Blessed and safe days!

I would enter the giveaway but I'd rather give it to someone who needs it most and actually will find so much use out of it ❤🤗

can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that *chloe finally got scissors*

Thanks for the review of the box! I also pre-ordered the box months ago. I think you did a nice job of explaining things without being overly dramatic. Your bears were so wonderful! I am glad we got a sketchbook for using with the October ink challenge and was hoping we would so I held off buying one. Thanks again for a great review!

Being an "art-oholic" I was truly excited to learn about these art boxes...thanks to Chloe. LOL Chloe, it was your accent that got me hooked to watching your posts within the first two minutes & quickly seen your humor that went with it. 🤣. I love to sketch but I am ALWAYS looking for new things to try. I have been teaching my daughter Kallie, who is 12 now. These boxes are a great way to find & try new "toys". I'm hoping it will help my daughter branch out from just a basic pencil. She's always afraid of "waisting" my supplies because she hears her father comment on how much I spend on supplies. Two creative people in one household does not make for a happy man. 🤣 I do oil painting, color pencils & dabble with watercolor. I have since learned about panpastels. So excited. I'm also excited about Jazza's new huge art box he's working on. It has CLAY items!! I've never purchased one before so it would be a great first one. Don't you think? LOL Thank you by the way. I have learned about him from your videos. I love watching you two. Humors & accents...I LOVE it! Anyway, this box would be hers. She'd be so excited & I'd love to watch her go at it without any hesitation because she thinks she's "waisting" my supplies.😁 colleenalfano@yahoo.com LOVE YOUR BEARS❣

Love the bear “doodles”. I don’t know the truth of that other matter, as I do not know those folks personally, but I do know while JP might have made it a popular daily challenge he did not invent nor create “Inktober”. We did ink drawings in October in school calling them the play on words “Inktober” in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The goal was to draw only in ink and finish at least one piece in ink during the month of October. My grandma also did “Inktober” like this when she was in school in art class in the late ‘40s and ‘50s! It’s like the word “cool” who knows how long it has been going on. Nice of you to give your box away and the art. Art Snacks may have teamed up for one box, but they are a separate business and I think you explained it nicely, while still supporting a business you like.

But hear me out, a pencil case with a bunch of different bears as the pattern on the outside fabric

whenever i watch your channel i get so much inspiration to do art. I just love your channel

Your “oh boy” pillow falling at 2:27 was pretty dang funny. It’s like the pillow knew it was gonna fall and said “oh boy”

Chloe: "Not white ink" The next item: *White ink posca marker*

2:26 The pillow- ight imma head out

love your new studio background it really has a great impact on the video atmosphere!

Amazing video! I appreciate how professionally you’ve approached this situation and as always, loved the video! Keep up the good work! Also yes, I would love it if you made pencil cases!

Chloe: I want to make my own pencil cases to sell. Would anyone buy pencil cases? Everyone: 👀 👁👄👁 ME: DUH YOUR FREEKING CHLOE ROSE ART WHO WOULDN'T LOL 😂

Jazza: *laughs in Australia*

I hope that I am finally able to participate inktober this year since I always was too scared of using new art supplies I'm not used to. it always looks so easy but it definetly isnt what I painfully experienced when I started a project to learn using water colors ''like a pro'' in 3 months. It takes so much time and effort and I'm always so impressed that you manage to not get demotivated when things wont work out like you want to by first tries.

Thank you for making this video Chloe. I love your positive attitude and the bears are adorable ❤.

Who else missed chloe so much? 😭 Ok well I know it was only a week since the last video but waiting is literal *torture* 🤣💕

I would buy your pencil case “pencil cases are fun!” 😂

2:26 the pillow really just said “bye”

Hello Chloe! Yes we would absolutely buy a pencil case. I want to get your paint brush set but your store needs more things to buy with them! (I keep my ispy subscription because I get free cute bags to use for supplies or pencil-cases) I always appreciate when you take a moment to talk about/ being awareness to sensitive topics or environmental & social issues, and regardless of everything going out outside our control, your videos are a place where we can all enjoy, relax and create for a little while.

"I often open art boxes" sounds like start of coming to terms with problem :D XD

Chloe is soooooo underrated this is how many people agree 👇

Whenever I draw a bear or some kind of Disney character I always think of your drawings and try and do my hair in some kind of “Chloe” hairstyle - I always just laugh at my own silliness and I totally love your videos and look forward to the next video 🤗🤗🤗🐼

I can't stop looking at your hair in this video. It looks so beautiful!

I just wanna say, I am super impressed how you reacted to this whole issue, even asking you're community wether to make the video at all. I'm still not sure what to think but I agree it's best to wait for now before we make our judgement. And I think everyone knows that you don't support any "agenda" but the fact that you make it so clear shows it's really important to you. But don't worry, honestly. Even though I don't think I'd participate in the official prompt list, I'd love to try ink. I only found out that you can use ink other than just "straight black" and wanted to get some inking supplies ever since but havn't yet. My instagram is @emaginenations - however I'm german so Idk if you wanna ship it that far. Either way, great video, keep it up :)

This is what I was waiting for a long time....... And now it’s here and I am so excited!

Love the falling oh boy pillow, got a real personality.

Ohh... Loved the box.. this was 1 rt time me watching you and this was 💯 % fun... And u must saw your voice and looks are great!!.. don't know why you are so underrated...😭

Hey, Chloe, I'd LOVE to buy your pencil cases. Petition for Chloe original pencil cases!

nobody: lilterally nobody: chloe: *its that kind of mechanical pencil that if you drop it on your foot it will hurt a lot*

2:26 rip chloe's pillow :( also i would love to win that sketchbook, both the cover and your drawings look fantastic! :D

I enjoyed your video, as usual. Miss seeing you and will keep an eye out for your videos. I love your bears. I believe you’ll have to get an adorable stuffed Panda baby to love. She won’t grow up nor eat too much but will love and cuddle the rest of your life.🐼~ Fran

*i see we’ve drawn some rocks to avoid the paws*

I think a pencil case in the shape of your very iconic and adorable bear would be great!

You handled the controversy/issues really well. Good job Chloe

You improved your art significantly from last year 👍

Are you sure you’re not becoming an art box subscription channel- I’m just kidding, I honestly love watching people unbox art boxes.

I got this odd feeling that the pencil cases will have bears designs on them like snots or paws. Great video, loved it much.

Super excited about the Aqua Inks they look so pretty I think they would make a real neat watercolor affect

Chloe ur chloffice ( fans will know) looks AMAZING!!! And ur vids now look so professional!!!! So proud💜🥺

“A penguin” I was so excited. And then. So sad. 😂

First of all: you did everything right Chloe. The disclaimer and all the information in the description are enough to clarify your position in this 'situation'. And it's really nice of you to still show your support to artsnacks AND give your community the chance to use the supplies in that box, if they can't afford the box themselves. Thank you for that. It would be a shame to miss out this chance so.. here's me, participating lol Instagram: @_blizz.art_ I would try to work with inks and stuff for the first time! I want to be more flexible with my art and want to be able to make art with all different kinds of supplies! Then starting with inks lol

pencil cases are so cool, when i was younger i used to have a pencil case collection but i've given most of them away to kids who need them for school. i love ones that have tons of compartments so i can put all my stuff in its own little place :]

Twistedsim from Instagram here, hi! 🙋‍♀️ I would have wanted that box to draw Inktober prompts and products for my own small business but can't afford it so.. yeah. What ever. Do not apologize yourself for buying that box. Just stop. People should be smart enough to realize you are not part of the drama around Inktober. Just be you. Don't apologize for things that you are not part of! I truly enjoy your content! Keep up the good work!

omggg I love her new look !!! she looks so especially pretty today!! ( she is pretty all the time)

The fact that you still posted this makes my respect for you double... And I didn't even know that was possible

I just realised that you have a moon globe in the background! I love those lampss

This is the first time watching you and I wasn't expecting the accent but I love your accent so😂

Just remember not a art subscription unboxing channel..

*talking about serious issues around inktober* Pretty, happy cushion: "I'm out...."

I am so in love with your bears!!!

Wow so much information for one box. Thank you for posting.

Nobody: Literally nobody: Chloe: pEcNCilE PoUcHes aRE fUn

Chloe: Would anyone buy custom pencil cases...hmm?? Me: *Oh YeS wE wOuLd* ALSO ME: _we would buy AnYtHiNg custom made by YOU_

Ohhh you got different color inks! My inktober box has orange yellow and red. Ahh thats fun! Everyone has a slightly different color theme then! 😎

U r the most unique artist I know and I love ur art

Sooo..... is anyone gonna talk about Chloe’s Disney land shirt🤭 (i would totally where it tho), I also wouldnt be surprised if Chloe lived in Disney land in the future I’m a small art channel if anyone is interested 🥰❤️❤️

I think you should totally do a pencil case, I think you would be able to make it really cool!

That's amazing of art snacks I would love to buy a box myself to support them, but I know i just can't atm, it seems like an amazing box, and I hope they get everything they need

I got the artsnacks inktober box last year, it is so great! Unfortunately in Canada with exchange rate, shipping and duties I couldn't afford it this year, too. I may do another prompt challenge besides inktober in light of the alleged plagiarism. Good job for still promoting artsnacks!

chloe: look at me I'm actually organized for once me: *looks at my art drawers I haven't organized for a week*

her: pencil cases are fun... me as a WEEB breathing is fun....

oh my gosh! I love the sketchbook! I will buy this from the artsnacks website once they put it on seperately 😍

I really love u and ur channel and ur art, you're just awesome, stay safe sweet chloe! ❤️❤️

I'm amazed Chloe doesn't struggle saying "art subscription box unboxing channel" like that's a tongue twister try saying that 10x and really fast

I would totally buy a pencil case!!

I LOVE the pencil case idea. It’s so hard to find a good one! Like a smart one, you know? One that is actually useful with its size.

Yesssssssssss I would definitely buy a pencil case you made Chloe :)

Literally just realized u posted this 12 mins ago

chloe: "I really want to make my own pencil cases--" me: "ooh that sounds fun" chloe 10 seconds later: "I'm so weird, 'pEnCiL cAsEs ArE fUn'" me: 😳

You can actually refill those Posca pens with white acrylic too. I love them. Great video as always.

I love watching you draw your bears. I do think you need to draw more pandas as they are my favorite creatures ever, it’s as if that box was make for pandas lol. Fun fact, a group of pandas is called an embarrassment ❤️🐼

did anybody even see the cusine fall away 😂

The fact that you have to make such a big disclaimer about this because you don’t want to get canceled it’s sad you should just be able to make art

YES CHLOE ROSE ART Pencil cases, brush cases, art folders, the whole merch

Love the video so exited for inktober! Has anyone ever noticed there's an extra line in the end card in the bottom pink flower!? I CAN'T UNSEE IT NOW
