Pen and ink from Isle of Man: November 2020

pen and ink from Isle of Man

Welcome to inkmann art, my blog about all things pen & ink. I'm a fountain pen collector, and enjoy using them for my sketches. My name 'Inkmann' echoes the Isle of Man, where I live. This Island's landscape, coast and heritage are my main inspiration, and the abandoned homesteads, known as Tholtans here, are a subject I often return too. My pen collection is growing alongside the different inks I can't resist, as pen and ink is my favourite medium. But I am also a fan of digital art and watercolour, and sometimes combine all three mediums to gain the effect I like. If you would like to get in touch, please contact me, Andrew, via the email link, inkmann@manx.net thanks.

Some of my Favourite Pens

This is my trusty Parker Duofold with a 14ct gold nib a really nice pen. I use it daily and as soon as I place nib on paper it just glides along the surface. I would guess it is around 1960's but if anyone can help me date that would be great thanks?

Glen Dhoo

Another view of Glen Dhoo. Such a great place to visit and sketch.

Most of these images will shortly be for sale on a limited edition. If you would like to purchase any please let me know. Unfortunately at this present time I have limited orders to only Isle of Man addresses , but hopefully in the near future this will change.

The originals are not for sale but as I said a short run of printed copies on good quality paper and archival ink will be. As you can see they are not up to the correct quality of reproduction on this blog but I can send you an actual size copy (watermark) before you decide if that helps.

Please don't hesitate to contact me to answer any of your queries. Thank you Andrew
