Pen and ink from Isle of Man: Tholtan

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.

Manx Tholtan

A tholtan is an old building which has become derelict . It could be a croft or farm building and there are many on the island. I don't know a lot about this tholtan apart from it being a building on a deserted farm . All tholtans have a sense of atmosphere and this is no exception.

If you would like to see some more tholtans please let me know. Enter a comment below or contact inkmann@manx.net

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.
