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.

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

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.
