Split. I wanted to do a calendar. Each had a one word title. This is a leaf stoma. I did Biology A level, and almost failed it! Too fragile to frame and display, unless I use museum glass! Very costly. #theferrisfiles #collage #nostalgia #mycottenham

Rembrandt in Old Age. That was a little prophetic. I could live another 30 years, judging by the longevity on both sides of the family. The tea is very bitter. Don't want to add sugar, defeats the point of it. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #nostalgia #oldage #mycottenham

Death and the Artist. It's me, of course. Good snapping time out in the village, and just discovered some herbal tea in the cupboard that I had forgotten. Indian lilac. Looks like pee! #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #nostalgia

Worm. The scuffing was completely accidental: the varnish made several pics stick together. I look at my past skill (cutting out the worm) and wonder where it went? Record cover size. #theferrisfiles #collage #nostalgia #metaphorsaplenty

Sulphur. I think they decided to change the spelling. There's a magpie out there on the tree. Not a good start. The 'sun' is liquid enamel. The role of the artist. #metaphorsaplenty #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #nostalgia #malemodel

Mum and Me. Read 'The Machine Stops' by E M Forster. That'll make you think. Now there is the prospect of a contest for the prime minister's job. None will be any better. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #nostalgia #frsutration

Drip. I must make myself do more Italian. Watching vids on FascistTube doesn't really count; it's pretty passive. About to grap a Wispa. I am a chocoholic. #theferrisfiles #collage #metaphorsaplenty #nostalgia

Base. I intended to do more of these collages, but it didn't quite come to pass. Could have made them into prints, though I do not care for the giclee trend. This is from the '80s. #theferrisfiles #collage #metaphorsaplenty #nostalgia

Mad Hatter. Not very gay, but it's really Joseph Beuys, improvised on top of squiggles. AI doing job interviews. Thank goodness I don't have to stick around for this. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #artist #artforsale

Another Prometheus image. Want to get another Pantone done, and maybe an image of the Tree of Knowledge. Dan has said he can't come for a week; he will not be invited again. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #mythology #frustration

Monstrosity, acrylic on a soap box. I like the weird shapes. BBC blathering about the doctors strike, but that's better than griping about their own distress. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #monster #nostalgia

Opening. On the back of a pizza packet if I remember rightly. Sometomes my poverty weighs me down too much. But I still spend money on materials! #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #nostalgia #frustration

I have just contacted a potential SEO. I need to get the work seen... and bought! I want to move to Italy next year. I hope it is not a golden dream? #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #acrylicpainting #frustration

Khepera. Previous posts came from folders under the heading 'Gay art,' but have now branched out into other areas. These are from 2006, or before. Acrylic on an old bag. #theferrisfiles #mythology #nostalgia

Doctor Dee. It's actually me creating art. Had fun with this one. Didn't do much today, expecting congress, but it didn't fall out thus. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #magic #nostalgia

This was the publicity photo for my book, The Cub-Hunting Season. No-one bought it, so it flopped. Thanks, Vintage. Never managed to follow it up with a novel; the idea is still gestating. #theferrisfiles #publicity #mycottenham #nostalgia #frustration

Back to the grindstone, then? The waste of paint that the kids created drove me mad, so I covered scraps of paper and worked on top of them. #theferrisfiles #dragon #mycottenham #artforsale

Bamboo Boy. Thought I'd better find one of the other type of images to satisfy my customers. Tesco order coming later. £75 for a minth's food. Yes, that's low, but then I'm a great cook! #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #costofliving #frustration #malemodel

Love trams, but the streets in Milan were mental: cars, scooters, pedestrians added to the mix. Have been snapping again, and took 15mins to pay the goddamned Council Tax. Oh, how the world crumbles! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #milano #italy #frustration

Wish I was back there instead of in the 5h1tpit. But it can't be helped. Reheated pizza for lunch. Italians would be in deep shock. I hate wasting food though. Age shrinks the stomach, but not the mind! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #milano #italy #graffiti

In a way it is as iconic as Wembley that was? I have been to 4 footy matches in my life, I think. School preferred rugger, cricket and 'athletics,' which meant cross-country runs in whatever the weather. Froze my balls off! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #footbball #milano #italy #nostalgia

I'm about to go off at a tangent. May get no notifications by switching to #ferrisphotos instead of gay art? I walked from my lodgings to the San Siro stadium. They may pull it down. I hate football anyway. #theferrisfiles #football #milano #italy #nostalgia

Sky looks full of snow, though that's not on the forecast. Taking action on child poverty by the government grabs the headlines, but it's tinkering at the edges of the utter mess we're in. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #greenman #acrylicpainting #frustration

There are two main problems here in the West: misinformation is accepted as gospel, and most prefer their own opinions about things they do not understand to the explanations by the informed. #theferrisfiles #monster #malemodel #mythology #dragon #mycottenham
