Just a few days left of @leigharttrail and some of these body parts are still available to buy, feel free to DM me or you can buy direct from @puddleandgoose shop. Don’t forget I’ve also donated an ear (painting of) to the Silent Auction where you can place a bid and potentially grab a piece of art at a fraction of the price. Every penny raised by the Secret Auction goes towards keeping the #leigharttrail thriving for another year. . Repost: A collection of ears 👂 and a couple of eyes 👁 various sizes of little wooden portraits in oil. I wonder if there’s a collective noun for a group of ears..?!

The Other MA aka TOMA is super stoked to be part of the @leigharttrail 2022 launching Sat 3 September when they will be returning to Chalkwell train station to take over the posters on the platform and entrance area. I will have one of my tiny drawings ‘Lady with a shopper’ - on display as a large scale poster. It’s a great space with some wild views over the Estuary 🌊. This is the 25th year of trail for this most awesome not for profit artist-led organisation and we will be part of an alphabet of pop-up spaces hosting a whopping 69 artists. TOMA artists will display large scale posters that explore ideas of transience and nomadic space. There will also be a FREE publication acting as an extension of the show at the station, for visitors to take away on their commute, this will also feature one of my paintings ‘End of the Line’. This show is supported by forever pals @paulrobinsonsolicitorsllp who will also be answering some legal questions in relation to creative practice sent in from @theotherma artists within the publication. A generous bit of learns for any makers and doers out there. Endless, endless thanks for all their support 💜🌈 Poster by TOMAer @luwilliamsdotcom . . . . . #leigharttrail #leigharttrail2022 #leighonseaart #leighonsea #chalkwell #c2c #waitingroom #nomadiclife #transient #artexhibition #alternativeartschool #toma #mastersdegree #daytripfromlondon #leighlife #leighculture #ukartist #southendart #essexart (at Chalkwell railway station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFFGuUDqHk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
