My name is Joshua Constein. I am an artist/illustrator from Pennsylvania. I have
also been a professional tattoo artist for 20 years. I work in acrylic and pen and ink, as well as digital art. For the past 3 years I have been a Twitch Affiliate as an art streamer, where I have built an amazing community of fellow creators. I like to take a more stylized and imaginative approach to the images I create, often with a bit of humor. I enjoy exploring world-building and story telling with my work. I am currently working on a story for a series of graphic novels.

Higgins Black Magic Ink

Higgins Black Magic India Ink is a premium, professional-grade ink that offers deep, rich pigmentation ideal for a wide range of artistic and technical applications. Renowned for its intense black color and smooth flow, this waterproof ink is perfect for creating bold brush strokes and precise pen work for calligraphy, illustration, and comic art. The dense black color is excellent for scanning and reproduction without losing quality or detail.

Black Magic is made with a finely dispersed carbon pigment that ensures a consistent, even application, whether using dip pens, brushes, or airbrushes. Its quick-drying formula prevents smudging, making it a reliable choice for detailed work that requires sharpness and clarity. Black Magic is water resistant, meaning it may smudge with water or other inks when used on less porous surfaces. This may be avoided when allowed to dry for 24 hours, or maybe used advantageously to blend shades and gradients within a short window. It’s ideal for use as a top layer in a mixed media composition or alone for striking contrast on white surfaces.

The filamented brush tip makes all the difference for creating a dynamic range of delicate fine lines to bold, expressive strokes. It mimics a paintbrush but has all the conveniences and control of a marker. Activate the brush by removing the yellow ring between the nib and barrel, and the sides of the barrel are squeezed to get the ink flowing. Once activated ink flows smoothly without starving or over feeding. Replacement ink cartridges are available to extend the life of your pen.
