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.

Rainbow over Douglas Harbour

 Douglas Harbour 

Rainbow over Douglas

Out for walk today, one minute fine and dry, next minute heavy downpour of rain followed by this rainbow, later a few hailstones thrown in for good measure then calm and dry.

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
