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 🫤

Train journeys are romantic I find - all those possibilities!

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 ☹️

Maybe I’ll do both! 😁

Thank you - I suppose it depends on whether you’re seeing the set all at once or one at a time!

Gail Brodholt @gailbrodholt.bsky.social · Aug 30

Thank you - and yes, a lot depends on whether you see them all together or singly, I guess!

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 😬

Thank you! I don’t like using the reduction method as I change my mind too much - so it’s four separate blocks 🙂

Tube journeys would be more fun that’s for sure!

2

Gail Brodholt @gailbrodholt.bsky.social · Aug 12

Agreed - it would certainly make the journey more fun!

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…
