Pen and ink from Isle of Man: Wildlife

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 only way to fly

I had to include this as nearly every evening the Herons give me a flypast over my roof. A large squawk and then a seamless glide to a nearby location for a nap.

Just thought I would share this with you.

Spot the Wallaby

Yes it is a wallaby if you look closer.

Spotted him while out walking this morning.

Very shy and well camourflaged.

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
