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.

The Draken Harald Harfagre ( Dragon Harald Finehair) visited Peel

a few years ago...not the first time a Viking Longship has arrived in Peel, although this time 

with a warmer reception than previous visits in the past.

A magnificent vessel which is named after the famous first King of Norway


King Harald Finehair. I believe this is the largest Viking replica ship still sailing at the time. 

Crowds of people turned up during the visit.

 The Viking association is engrained in our Manx culture with place names and our 

Parliament Tynwald formed by the Vikings and still operating.
