Pen and ink from Isle of Man: Coast

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.

Herons on the beach

Usually most early mornings the herons are on the beach looking for breakfast. They are stunning and majestic and spend long times being perfectly still concentrating on their hunting skills

Rainbow over Douglas Harbour

Douglas Harbour

Out for walk today, one minute fine and dry, next minute heavy downpour of rain followed by this rainbow, later a few hailstones thrown in for good measure then calm and dry.
