True Cleveland Tales

I have been drawing as far back as I can remember. In my early 20s, I started working with pen and ink and fell in love with it. My local store sold Higgins Inks and I’ve been hooked since.

Chartpak® AD® Marker Basic Set, 12 Markers

The Basic set has bright primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Experiment with blending and creating highlights and low lights with limited color families. This is an excellent set to start building your AD Marker color collection.

Chartpak's original xylene AD® Markers properties are unlike all alcohol-based markers common to the marketplace, and while they are compatible with one another, they perform very differently. They won't smudge alcohol-based pens including fine liners, they also work well over ballpoint pens and technical pens. To mix a custom color, apply the marker colors to a plastic film like acetate, pick up the marker color and mix them with the Colorless Blender as you would a paintbrush. Once mixed, you can use the blender marker to apply your custom color to your surface. AD markers layer, blend, transfer laser images, and are permanent on many porous and non-porous substrates. However, they are not recommended for use on Styrofoam. These markers are juicy, and last an extremely long time when the cap is applied securely. There is no mistaking the scent of a xylene marker, and for this reason, we always suggest using them in a well-ventilated area.

All markers come with a tri-nib point allowing for thin, medium, and broad strokes all within one marker. The nibs are removable and replaceable to extend the life of your marker.

Higgins Black India Ink is the first ink Higgins produced in 1880. Micro-pulverized black carbon is suspended in a shellac solution to create a deep charcoal pigmented drawing ink. Renown for its rich color and fluid consistency, Higgins India Ink has been a favorite among artists, calligraphers, and illustrators for over 140 years. Artists depend on Higgins India Ink for its reliable ability to make consistent bold and expressive brush strokes and delicate pen work.

Celebrated not only for its permanence and waterproof qualities but also for its ability to produce a full spectrum of shades, from light to dark for high-contrast work, depending on dilution. India ink’s fast-drying nature and archival quality ensure that artwork maintains vibrancy and integrity. When mixed with other Higgins inks, it can create muted shades excellent for gradations and shadows. This ink is compatible with a wide range of media, making it ideal for outlining, lettering, and mixed media projects involving watercolor, acrylics, graphite, pastel, alcohol markers, and more!

Usage: May be diluted with distilled water. Close cap tightly after use. Do not mix with acids, or use as tattoo ink. Not launder-proof. Clean tools with water immediately after use or with Higgins Pen Cleaner for dried ink. Shake well before use as the black pigment may settle over time.
