I was going to post a linocut of a railway bridge for #NationalBridgeDay
But I don’t appear have done one - so here’s the old passenger footbridge at Farrington Station.
Although, now I come to think of it, it might be the other sort of bridge, as in the card game kind.
Oh well, too late now 😂

Here’s a great view from the passenger footbridge at Wandsworth Road Station. Sadly the gas holder was demolished to make way for blocks of flats and Battersea Power Station has been engulfed by, as I'm sure you've guessed, more flats, only now they're called luxury apartments 🫤

It's all happening for us train enthusiasts (or is it just me?) as today marks 200 years since the Stockton and Darlington Railway opened in 1825 - the birth of the modern railway.
So here are some of the many railway linocuts I have done over the years - too many, I hear you say? Surely not… 😂

I have a linocut to suit every occasion - this one is called Tube Strike ☹️

I spent the summer making tiny b/w linocuts of the months, and finally printed the first six. Then came a thought (oh dear) - what if I added a little colour? Now, of course, I can’t decide - see what you think. Just when you think you’ve finished…

#InternationalDogDay rolls around again so here’s a dog taking its owner for a scenic walk down by the canal under the Westway 🐕‍🦺

I'm dusting down this little linocut of beach huts for all of you lucky people away for the August Bank Holiday - hope it’s a good one! 😎

I’ve just finished a few more copies of ‘Any Given Saturday’ which are now in my shop - unfortunately what should’ve taken me a couple of weeks has taken me four months so I can’t feel all that pleased with myself 😬

Anyone ever seen a tube carriage like this? No, me neither 😁

In celebration of 200 years of the railway, which I think was back in March but who’s counting, here’s a detail of my linocut of Paddington station - and the whole print being printed

To say I'm working at a leisurely pace on this linocut is a bit of an understatement. Still, I think I’m happy with this version - unless I change my mind again…🤔

An old proof of my linocut of the Shard with the editioned print. As the original is almost sold out, I’m thinking of making a new version - experimenting with colour is so carefree as the blocks have already been cut, ready to use again…

Four lino blocks - interesting to see what they make when they’re printed together 😊

London is sweltering and no amount of ice cream is helping - believe me, I’ve been eating heroic amounts. I’m more of a winter girl myself so here’s to cooler months, ice skating in Canary Wharf ❄️

Tube stations - an endless source of inspiration...

Some of you may feel that there’s not much difference in any of these trial proofs and that it’s mostly me just nitpicking - well, let me tell you that yes, you’re absolutely right 😢
There’s also the favourite four (at least for now!)

It’s #InsuranceAwarenessDay today, people, and here's my linocut 'True Love on the Tube' - because that young woman is definitely thinking about her insurance needs

Right in the middle of a sweltering hot summer seems like a good time to share my linocut ‘Winter Wonderland’ - hard to imagine it ever being that cold but it does make me appreciate the warmth!

Well, you know I’m going to be wheeling this one out on June 21st every year as it’s called - and you may be ahead of me here - Summer Solstice 😁

So, apparently June is #skyscrapermonth - exactly why tall buildings need their own special month is anyone’s guess but nevertheless here I am with some skyscrapers for you 😄

What fabulous weather we’re having - anyone thinking of a trip to the seaside today? Here's my linocut 'The Last to Leave' - have fun if you are! 😎

Not sure if this is appropriate for #nationalbestfriendsday as the couple don’t look entirely happy but you never know….😆

I called this linocut, ‘Love on the Underground’ And if finding yourself alone on an empty platform in front of an empty train isn’t romantic, I don’t know what is 😁

Another psychedelic offering from the archives - this is a colour trial of a linocut called ‘Platform One’ but sadly, which station this platform sits on, is lost in the mists of time 😁
