I called this linocut, ‘The Golden Hour’ because I love that time just before sunset, when the light sometimes softens and warms and London briefly forgets it’s supposed to be grey, cold and drizzly. I’m sure I’m not the only one to pause for a moment on Blackfriars Bridge to admire that view ❤️

I started this year thinking I was going to get super organised - a week later and I really can’t be arsed So instead of a picture of my neatly filled-in wall planner, here’s a linocut of Bethnal Green gas holders instead…

Happy New Year’s Eve to everyone! And thank you all for the support and kind comments that have warmed my rather chilly studio in this little corner of south east London over the past year - wishing you all good things for 2026!

Eggs, fresh bread, a cool glass of wine, and a flower to rest your eyes on ~ I like the simplicity of 17th century German still-life specialist Georg Flegel’s ‘Snack with Fried Eggs’ (1630), State Gallery Aschaffenburg

For the next two days, I plan to be flat out on the sofa, in front of the TV, with a glass of champagne continually topped up by a team of elves - well, a girl can dream…
Here's hoping all your Christmas wishes come true - have a good one and see you on the other side!

Beautiful words from Margaret Atwood:
“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future, the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar...”

Just a little reminder that tomorrow, Friday 19th, is the last day I can post prints in time for Christmas (UK only). 🎄

So, after a lot of effing and blinding, endless cups of tea and a little bit of crying in the corner, here is my latest linocut, Hinterlight. Hope you like it!

Municipal trees lead a sad sort of life - branches over-pruned, roots constrained by concrete, the iron guards used as handy rubbish bins and, lest we forget, peed on endlessly by passing dogs. Still, nothing says
#NationalTreeWeek like a London park with a few spindly trees thrown in…

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 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…

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 😬

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…
