- As his collection grew, he began to pursue one color in particular. It seemed impossible to find until a routine visit to the thrift store.
He should open a po box. Im sure he'll get crayola crayons from all over the world!
What a great idea!
Po Box?
P.O. Box google it@@anthonyjones9868

This gentleman should start his own channel. What a precious gem he is!
I would love to see videos of him coloring and explaining the history of the crayons and colors. That would be so awesome.
The gay Asian dude….he’s gotta work on that acting because while he didn’t mean it, the “wow” at the end was pretty mean.
PBS 🖍️ needs him teaching a crayon class in a Bob Ross style
His artwork is incredible too! No one ever teaches you that crayons can make professional art. This was a great video. I fondly remember Sesame Street in the early early 80s having a small thing about how they made a crayon, the colour was sunset something...this was really cool
if you seach on youtube, the sesame street video is there on how crayons are made
@@kerrbear1980 yes I prefer using crayons when I color, and everyone I know prefers pencils and paint, and that's also been the most common forms of art in books and stuff too, so to see more people using crayons and making gorgeous art with them is so cool to see! And I remember as a child seeing a Mr Rogers episode on how crayons were made and was absolutely fascinated. I'll have to look up that sesame street episode and watch that too!
He doesn't just collect crayons, he's also an artist who uses them, AND he teaches children how to use them, too...
That's a retired life well-lived.
Bravo, sir 👏👏👏❤️
I never knew crayons could be used to make such beautiful art. He's very talented.
All you have to do is color with them

@@Shvetsario be nice
❤❤❤
Spaghetti and depression? I would have guessed it smells like crayons.
Smells like a mk4 vw jetta or golf. They all seem to smell like crayons
Dont tell the Marines there's an all you can eat buffet.
Came here to find this comment. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.
I wonder if SteveMRE would be willing to chomp on a vintage Crayola
Glad you said it so I didn't have to mention usmc. Thank you for your service hooah
@@snyderec3952yoo me too lol
People say the Marines eat crayons because they’re stupid. I’ve met some Marines and know them to be quite intelligent. Which just makes it scarier that they eat them because they must like the taste.
I need a whole hour episode of this crayon collection!
Yes! I'd love to see more detail of his collection, and it seems he loves talking about them and sharing his knowledge with others!
I feel the same. I started getting more excited as I watched. 😄
I wish he would start a RUclips channel!
The box of 64 with a sharpener was the benchmark.
*He has Dandelion Yellow!!* 😮😮. I’ve been in love with that color since kindergarten and now that I’m 32 years old I haven’t seen one since 3rd grade. It was my favorite then and it’s my favorite now.
No color like dandelion! There's a creator on TikTok that's been collecting dandelion crayons since they've been discontinued and I think that's such a fun idea.
They still make them I still color sometimes
@@featheryfemme i think i’ve seen her on fb reels. I dont do tiktok, but i would totally love to see yt shorts. I never liked the color yellow, but dandelion had me since i was a kid.
@@Shalyn-ln9tu yeah, I'm in the same sort of boat, I've only seen her on reels but I do know she posts on TikTok and I believe that's her main, as is for most people. But yeah, the dandelion crayon was gorgeous, very beautiful warm yellow, very rich. The similar crayons just can't compete.
I remember that color 💛
I thought he would say his favorite color is Cerulean... the most beautiful crayon of all time imo
It is!!
Finally. My favorite since I can remember.
I wish there was a way to get ahold of this fella. I got a 90th anniversary 1903-1993 tin my godmother's mother bought in 93 even has dandelion with the pencil sharpener. It's in pristine condition. 🥰 I'm in Florida it was purchased in N New Jersey.
If you google him, you will find phone number & email. Or contact the station & ask he call/email you.
Dandelion isn't that rare, Crayola made over 40 million of them during their production run.
If you can't locate him I'm sure the news station could assist in reaching out to him for you. They are pretty helpful with stuff like this
wishing you all the luck!
I hope this ends up successful I really do
The fact that he not only collects these art tools bvut also utilizes them in an amazing fashion is the true beauty behind this story...a man not only in search of tools but also nuances like specific and rare colors. Love it
You’re never too old to connect with your inner child 🤍 this man has such a sweet soul
As a collector of vintage lunchboxes, I appreciate the search for the next best one over just getting them all on the Internet. The real excitement is in the hunt. I started collecting when I was about 15 and very few people cared about them because they were just garbage from their childhood. Now that I am 47 and the market has ebbed and flowed, I have access to pretty much any lunchbox I would ever want on eBay but I still get a rush going into an antique store for a middle of nowhere, thrift store and finding one. even though I want to find boxes in pristine condition I love when I get one that has a child’s name written on it or inside because it means that it was used and loved. I’ve got over 150 and most are on my wall with super strong magnets.
It’s actually so cool how dedicated he is when it comes to finding rare crayons and teaching kids how to make art with them. I hope he finds that 1958 box of 64 crayons 🖍️
I think he has it but the box is not in pristine condition.
He is so right about Crayola crayons. They create such beautiful artwork and they can be blended just like oil pastel crayons. I started drawing just for fun one day with crayons and discovered their magical abilities. They pair well with color pencils to bring something to life. By imparting a heavy amount of crayon onto your picture and using the coordinating color pencil or one you feel would go well over that crayon, you just start with medium pressure and start scraping away the top layer of crayon and laying down your color pencil color with the crayon. It turns out vibrant and like a comic book print all waxy and laminated looking. It's a bit messy but I've never known art to be clean until I was finished and cleaned up. What a great find this gentleman found. ❤
Wow,that is a GREAT tip! I do a little art class once a week with children. Will try your technique with them.
I found this out doing art projects with my kids. They'd do something like color a cat purple or a sky green, so I would go behind them and erase the top layer and blend oil pastels and colored pencil on top of it. Made some of the richest tones and textures just like a comic book.
Do you use a clear blending marker? I use that with colored pencil and it does WONDERS for me. Mileage may vary, though.
all the other crayon brands are just awful
Wow, just tried it! A great tip for young and young-at-heart, alike. Thank you!
This man and his crazy collection got us talking about, thinking about and even using crayons. That's pretty darn neat.
I remember when crayola eliminated the green blue (but kept the blue green).
I was heartbroken since that was my favorite color.
I don’t know if they still make it, but I still have a crayon in “jungle green” that I’ve held on to for at least 32 years now. I still remember taking that with me to the paint store when my dad took me to pick out the color for my bedroom. It was the last thing we did together (along with my mom and brother) before my dad passed.
I still find a way to incorporate that jungle green color into every place I’ve ever lived, usually by a rug or curtains, but I HAVE to have that color in my house somewhere.
It’s currently the color of my bedroom walls 🙂
Based on research of retired Crayola colors, green-blue was retired in 1990, along with blue gray, raw umber, lemon yellow, violet blue, orange-red and orange-yellow. However I do recall in the earlier 2000s getting those retired Crayola colors in the 64 box of Crayons brand for Christmas one year, maybe like around 2003. I've done a lot of research online and can only find Crayola colors, so I without actually opening boxes of off brand crayons in various stores I couldn't tell you what if any brand still has these retired Crayola colors available. Green blue is available in Crayola colored pencil, in the 100 color pack.
That’s how I feel about the dandelion crayon. All my curtains are that color, my couch and one of my favorite duvet covers. Fell in love with the color in Kindergarten but hasn’t seen it again since 3rd grade.
If you listen real hard, you can hear the sound of Marines collectively salivating
“I DRAW WITH CRAYONS!” - THE DRAWINGS : 😮🎉
I love people like this, my favorite color is Periwinkle
Mine is teal😊
queen ~ That's a pretty one but I still gotta go with Violet Red. 😊
Spring Green!
mine is middle blue purple
@@tpertux ~ Is that a fairly new color? 🤷
His house is the most highly defended FOB of the Marine Corps.
Every Marine's dream chow hall
I could listen to someone talk passionately about their hobby for hours, even if I don’t care much about it. Good for you, Richard. Cool collection, hope you get your OG 1958 box of 64 in pristine condition.
In all my years of using Crayola crayons as a kid...not once did I ever create anything as lovely as what he's created. What a great soul...God bless...
Did you notice how finely pointed he’s sharpened them? You can do a great deal more with that. His paper choice is probably very important.
What a cute story! I wish this man had a RUclips channel to share more of his wonderful collection with the world.
the organization is superior. wow. as a person with OCD, i love this man 😭
Don’t tell the marines…
I'm 67 years old and still love crayons. But I never seen a crayon collector. Amazing.
don't start a sentence with "im 67" - people literally don't care. lol
@escalanteti0 wrong. I care
i collected crayons in the 90s, i still have a box of rare ones
@@escalanteti0 whether you care or not, it still matters. Since they are older they likely have vastly different opinions and attitude than most of the kids and young adults on the internet. Meaning you can at least put more faith in the comment compared to the random rabble.
@@escalanteti0 It's a pretty fundamental part of the point he is making.
That's a very talented guy, It's not just the crayons, but he's a darn good artist too. I hope someone sends him the box of 64 he's looking for.
Cerulean is the best crayola crayon color. It's so vibrant, it's that eye candy shade of blue, it's perfect.
Love that not only he collects them. He's actually a visual artist and teaches kids how to draw with crayons. Great story. Asparagus is his favourite. All other colours must be so jealous!
They've gone green with envy.
This is the best news story I hope this man starts a channel or something the internet needs more of this wholesome stuff!
I thought he was just a crayon hoarder but then it gets to the part where it shows his art. He is a great artist.
still a hoarder. also, kids would benefit from this tools provided not adults. time to grow up and smell the coffee people
@@escalanteti0 he is obviously benefitting from this tools and he is not a kid. I'm sure he smells the coffee and bengay every morning.
@@escalanteti0 cry more, karen.
@@escalanteti0just clicking on your profile I can see you are a hoarder of toxic comments, quite an impressive collection 😂 at least this guy is doing something positive for the community.
I love that we have news stories like this. It’s impossible to watch it without a smile.
The world needs more of this vibe. God bless this man.
What a cool old guy. I see some artists stick their noses up at crayons and colored pencils but as one can see from this man's drawings, great art can be made using all mediums.
As a baseball card collector I respect the love he puts into his collection. I feel like everyone should collect something.
Why? It does nothing to you but distract you from the truth. People are scared to sit alone with their mind because they will realize everything we see and touch on daily is pointless.
@@juspete5527 Collecting teaches you a lot. How to appreciate the little things... attention to detail... how to manage money... personal skills if you trade/deal with other collectors... etc.
@@juspete5527wait huh?
I personally have many collections and each one gives me such joy :)
Such a wholesome story. No huff no puff just a man enjoying what he loves ❤
cool story. I love it when collectors use and enjoy their collections.
Dang, I'm jealous! I want this collection!
Wow… a Marine’s dream home.. so many crayons. Semper Fi!
I scrolled down looking for this comment lol.
The man has a passion, displays it proudly, and encourages others and the youth to do the same/similar. Wonderful to see!
I worked for Crayola for 30 yrs. It was the best place to work. I started there when it was Binney and Smith, and then Hallmark bought it lock stock and barrel , and changed the name to Crayola. I loved working there, their products were made with the best ingredients and they made sure they were safe for children, that was their top priority for all their items. I bet I have items that he doesn't have, some things were only given to employees. It's nice to see someone who loves Crayola as much as I do
Marines must love this guy
God bless him. What a joy he must be in person. Very talented, too. 😊
You know this guy is an artist when he says his favorite of all of the thousands of shades is: "Asparagus".
You need a great appreciation for the subtle differences of very dark colors to have a favorite like that.
What a nice man. Great collection.
I bet his place smells amazing!!!
has that pica aroma
The smell of Crayola crayons is a core memory for everyone!
@@caronstout354 Yep. That and Playdoh..I probably spelled that wrong.
@@knighttoking7926Nope. You spelled that correctly. T-H-A-T.
@donk8105 😂
This is sooo cool 😃
Thats so much food, and they have all the vintages and flavours!!
Remember "Flesh"?
Yeah I remember it at 2:39
I like that Crayola put out a specialty box that lets you draw all the human skin tones. Unless you’re Violet Beauregarde and turn into a blueberry. Then you need a different box.
@@entropybentwhistle flesh came out before that existed. Cry babies whine it was racist.
Flesh was banned in 1965 during the civil rights movement it was the one above torch red
@@zerotodona1495Way to spoil a feel good story with your toxicity. Shoo! Shoo!
Aromatic to boot
This man needs a RUclips channel and a PO Box
I want to smell his house! One box smells incredible, I can't even imagine. Hopefully he's open to tours, so sweet!
bruh, what horrible editing! We know the whole segment was shot BEFORE the edit and you still called his house FOREST GREEN knowing full well it's ASPARAGUS! YOU'S TROLLIN!
You gonna be ok?
im still full triggered!@@cory8837
😂😂😂
There are definitely at least 8 colors I LOVED that i dont see anymore sadly. I would be tickled 'salmon pink ' looking at his collection. I can smell our childhood nostalgia now!! 🖍️ 💕
ngl i never thought I could be interested in crayons but I could listen to this guy talk about them all day
This man's collection is absolutely marvelous! I would love to visit his house and have the tour. Someone needs to make a full length PBS documentary all about him and his amazing collection, and I bet that they smell heavenly because I so enjoy the scent of Crayola's. 🥰💐🌼🌈
I love that he collects used ones too!🎉. AND uses them AND teaches!
I had no idea people collected crayons. That’s so odd. I love it.
people collect everything! At one point I had the worlds largest collection of scented stickers. Over 8,000 unique 1969-2004.
Reminds me of the women on TikTok obsessed with the dandelion yellow crayola crayon
Yes I saw that too😊
What a sweet man! Luv this story. I hope someone sends him what he is looking for.
My favorite Crayloa color always has been, and probably always will be, salmon pink. I was obsessed with that color as a kid. I wish I still had my old coloring books.
As a crayon lover, this makes me extremely happy.
This nice guy brought me peace. Thank you Richard ❤
Fascinating - I remember some of those rare colors. Such a playful and colorful collection - it truly shows something about this gentleman's true nature - great video!
Memories! I grew up in 50's and 60's and crayons were my magic wands. I loved my crayons and to have a box of 64 with the sharpener was heaven! Love the smell of crayons too. His artwork is lovely and shows what you can do with crayons.🖍🖍🖍💜💙💚💛🧡❤🥰
First collector i have seen that keeps it all organized and neat in his home.
I love seeing other people’s collections. It’s a little glimpse into what makes the world a better place for them.
I think we all feel like. Hmmm. I could do that with ______________ I collect. Inspirational or fun to Imagine either way.
2:26 I remember having a goldenrod, pig pink, and an indian red! If only I had saved them lol
Very neat. It’s always great to see someone show pride in what they do, whether it’s crayons or cars. Even things I don’t collect, I still find the history fascinating.
Idky but this is HANDS DOWN THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I’VE EVER SEEN ON RUclips. it’s almost too wholesome to be real
I swear when they showed the crayons 🖍️ I could suddenly smell that waxy smell weird so weird 😂😂 I love crayons what a cool guy he is and good story KENS 5!!
"flesh" I was laughing my head off, but then I realized that I always looked for that color when I was drawing humans.
I Love how crayons smell!! His House probably smells Awesome!! 🤗😂👍 My Kids Loved Coloring with Crayons when they were little!! 👶👶👶🖍️🖍️🖍️🍭
Need a whole hour on this, or a RUclips channel. What a wonderful collection! Cerulean was my favorite when I was in school.
Cerulean is a lovely color. Hard to pick a favorite, but that one is up there! Cheers!
Protect this man at all costs. Not only does he collect but he creates using his collection and also passes on his knowledge and findings of his collection too. So, so cool!
Marines: "Must..EAT! RAHHHHH!!!"
Crayons are a great art medium! Often disregarded but totally terrific 🖍️
What a treasure this man is! Thank you for this story!
I love it. My grandmother worked for their factory: Binney and Smith, based in Easton, Penna..and Crayolas were my childhood companions...
I love it!❤ Absolutely love Crayola Crayons and Im 55 yrs old! My sons share my love for a box of crayons!! Nothing like a new fresh box of crayons!!
This is my favorite news segment that I've seen all year long! :)
What a lovely man, who shares his passion for creativity!
I love this Man! What a colorful personality!
I LOVE this! I'm 71 yrs old and I STILL the smell of a brand new box of Crayola Crayons! There is nothing like it! It takes me back in time to when I was in Grade School (what we call Elementary now days). Getting that small box of 8 colors of crayons for the first day of school. Opening it. Smelling those crayons. It was heavenly! To this day, I still love to color in a coloring book with Crayola Crayons! 🥰
I need more of this gentleman.
This is really one of the more beautiful and inspiring stories I've heard recently ❤️
Open a box and take a sniff. You're back in kindergarten, or home on a rainy evening coloring.
What a nice story. Now I'm going to look over my few boxes and see what color names are in there.
What a stand up gentleman. The fact that he teaches kids how to create art with crayons at his age is wonderful and I’m sure that’ll be a core memory for everyone involved. Let’s not forget that it’s helping him keep his mind sharp.
I just wanna go hang out with this man and color. I bet hes got interesting stories for days. Great video.❤
I saw that he has a Star Wars toy collection, too.
I worked at Crayola from 1980 - 2011. Great collection ! I have some older boxes of crayons. I should find this guy.
This is an awesome story . Good deed sir giving back to the community
I also love greens. I think you can tell from the outside of his house that he enjoys green too. I really hope he finds his original box!
Back in the ‘70s I loved getting that giant box of Crayons on Christmas morning stuffed in my stocking… the gold and silver colors were my 2 favorites lol.
What a cool guy! Crayola holds a special place in my heart too ❤ I love to see a heartwarming and fun news story for a change
I like how he mentioned Crayola has the best pigment/color to cost ratio you could get. He's right he could create a masterpiece with a box from the dollar store for $1.50 with colors & texture you'd have to pay 5-10x the price. I love that, what a gentleman
The drawing he makes are great!
I think this is a great example of the diffrence between a horder and a collector. Look how well organized everything is, display cases and such; he cares about the stuff he has. Where a horder just has random stuff struned about
Amazing ! Hopefully he starts up a youtube channel, he supports the youth & for that I’ll definitely support his efforts .. humans like this man are the ones who make this world a better place 🙏🏼💯
Retired art teacher here! I thought I was the only one collecting Crayola!
A fine collection indeed!! I don’t have to know this gentleman to see what a delightful man he must be!! Anyone who can get so excited over Crayola Crayons is ok in my (coloring) book! 😂
