Pen and ink from Isle of Man: July 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.

Pen and ink from Isle of Man,

I drew this pen and ink last year on the way to the Chasms, near Cregneash.

Came back during TT week to find it has gone . Not sure of the circumstances but glad I was able to capture it before it went.

It is a great spot with amazing views towards the Calf of Man.

Does anyone know what it was used for?
