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


My Opus 88 Fountain Pen,






                        This is my Opus 88  pen in Orange.  

I use this daily and find it is very smooth and well made pen. I just love it.

The filling mechanism is an eyedropper type so requires an eyedropper which is supplied with the pen. It holds a tremendous amount of ink, so can be used for a long time without having to refill.

 A truly great pen and one of my favourites.
