Speaking as one who never misses an opportunity to shoehorn a topic into a post, and as it’s Sky Awareness Week, I’m sharing (and you may be ahead of me here) a linocut with a sky - for those of us who need to practice their awareness 🤔
‘Storm Clouds over Whitehall’ linocut

A slightly odd view from the train on the approach to Blackfriars station - you’re looking straight on at the London Eye and yet somehow the sunset is still off to the west.
It’s thanks to that great loop in the Thames - there are some great views that are technically correct but a bit unexpected!
Apparently June is skyscraper month - exactly why tall buildings need their own special month is anyone’s guess - nevertheless, here I am with some skyscrapers…

I’ll be at Eames Fine Art (5 mins from London Bridge) on May 2nd where I’ll be discussing my latest print “April Come She Will” and the evolution of my work
Talk at 11am (limited spaces – RSVP directly to the gallery)
Drop in from 12:30pm if you can’t make the talk - see you there!
A trip down memory lane with this one - so long ago I barely remember it. I do know it’s a linocut of a tube station, although I can’t quite place which one, and I’m drawing a bit of a blank on the title too. Must be getting old…

I am genuinely thrilled to share with you that on World Flip Flop Day I actually have a linocut with a pair of flip-flops in it….
That’s all for today 🩴
These four very long, thin
linocuts are horribly difficult to print and a really awkward size to frame. Still, it seemed like an excellent idea at the time....

You may be surprised to hear, but today is World Goth Day 🎉 I’m not sure how a goth might celebrate their special day - difficult to imagine - but for all goths out there, this one’s for you 🖤

For those tyre enthusiasts out there - and I’m sure there are many of you - today, in 1923, Firestone started producing balloon-tyres for cars.
Which leads neatly on to my linocut of some cars, sadly lacking, as I am, in any artwork that includes bunnies, lambs or eggs. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣
