Pen and ink from Isle of Man: February 2024

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.

Tholtan, Isle of Man

Another popular Tholtan on the island, but does anyone know where it is? I have done several pen and ink sketches of this location which is one of my favourite spots on the island.

Fishing boats in Peel Harbour

Fishing Boats by The Sailors Shelter & Custom House

Another view of Peel Harbour. There's always something to see here - historic buildings, smallest car in the World, Kippers and Queenies to name a few.
