Pen and ink from Isle of Man: Transport

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.

Down at the Strath

This is the Strathallen Terminus in Douglas, where the electric trams travel to the north of the island as far as Ramsey.

This is Inky my Fantastic Honda CT125

Here is my new bike (Inky) on the road with 33 miles on the clock- and counting. Really enjoying it, having fun. You can't ride this bike without a smile on your face.

Going along the promenade early this morning I came across these guys. The weather's not so much a Saturday Night Fever - more like Monday's Rain.

A really Big thank you to Mark and Sharon and all at Seven Seas Motors for helping me get my dream bike. I can't praise them enough for being so professional and helpful. They have some wonderful bikes...... if only I had a bigger garage!

Honda CT125

At last I am proud owner of Honda CT125

This is a great wee bike.

It may be only 125cc but it can go anywhere

and it makes you smile....not a bad thing eh ?

Looking forward to riding and also going to some out of the way

places where I can do some sketching as well.

Had to do a quick drawing...... probably more to follow

Groudle

This is a photo I took a few years ago in Groudle Glen. The bridge has been an inspiration for a few of my sketches and feel it is a great structure situated in a lovely area. The Electric Tram and roadway crosses above on way to Laxey.
