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.

Manx Tholtan

 


Manx Tholtan



A Manx Tholtan, Isle of Man, by Manx artist inkmann@manx.net
A tholtan is an old building which has become derelict . It could be a croft or farm building  and there are many on the island. I don't know a lot about this tholtan apart from it being a building on a deserted farm . All tholtans have a sense of atmosphere and this is no exception.
