Pen and ink from Isle of Man

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.

Opus 88 Bela

Opus 88 Bela Fountain Pen

This is my Opus 88 Bela fountain pen. Such a well made and beautiful pen. It's a large pen and holds an enormous amount of ink and has an eyedropper a filler. Used daily and always close to hand, I really think these pens are worth every penny and feel great to use.

Pen and ink

Some of my favourite pens

Opus 88

This is my Opus 88 demonstrator pen. The only thing I can say is it's brill. Ive had it some time now and it has never let me down. It's quite chunky and holds an awful amount of ink so less refilling. This is always close to hand and used daily. The unique filling system is an eyedropper which is supplied with the pen.

This is such a good quality pen, with some great features
