A street in Peel
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.

Pen and ink of Slieau Whallian in St John's. This is the view from the old Douglas to Peel railway which has long gone and instead used by walkers and cyclists.

The only way to fly
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.

View towards Ballakelly Farm
Another Manx scene of a country road with farm buildings and the old Manx stone walls so unique to the island which I love so much

Bridge over the Lhen Trench
The Lhen Trench in the northern part of the Isle of Man. It passes under this bridge to the sea. This is such a fascinating spot. I've heard stories that the Vikings use to bring their boats up this narrow spot from the sea.
