Brixton Monuments I

This is the first lino cut in the series and was used to raise money for re-painting the small corrugated iron worker’s cottage cum corner shop on Fulham and Wimbledon Road.
Brixton Monuments II

This building used to be a convenience store run by a Chinese lady called Pi. When she retired, the building became an artist studio called SHADE, now its a shop again.
The figure in the foreground is one of the Sentech Croozers, a group of boys who build custom bikes.

The stone steps are busy in the mornings and evenings with people walking to and from work or exercising.
