Pen and ink from Isle of Man

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?
