Today should be a day of just doing the website. It's a real pain in the butt. They offer 'Hire a professional,' but I will soldier on for a while. This is oil pastel and ink on M&S card. #theferrisfiless #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #nostalgia

Abstraction on a Taschen bag. Gosh... lodger up. An hour earlier than usual. Pink clouds out there this morning. Zoology Museum later. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #nostalgia #mixedmedia

Ape. No notifications. But I'm not bitter. Well, maybe a little. Sometimes I allow the 'indeterminancy' to take centre stage. #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #mycottenham #frustration #nostalgia

Pedestal City. Time to put some music on. It's too depressing to listen to the collapse of the world as we know it while does bleep all to stop the slide! Great to catch up with a friend yesterday I had not seen in months. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

How's this for vanity: logo for my future foundation. I once saw a similar one (years later) for a leather fetish company! Nowadays the 'mega-visual tradition' is something Peter Fuller could never have imagined! #theferrisfiles #design #mycottenham #logo #metaphorsaplenty

The Sky Is Falling. I have a couple of new old bags to work with. Need to do a pic about Greenland and one about Venezuela. Has to be done. Hope weather improves. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Fair Trade. I obviously took the name on this to give it a title. Put 'Rattle and Hum' on the stream. Having a decaff coffee, to balance the espresso martini I had at linch. The desire just popped into my head. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia

Moon City. That'll do for today. Feeling a little warmer after food. Be nice if I had a bad-warmer, mind! B is off to Naples again. So jealous. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty

Weird tea, cos Tesco's been! Pain au chocolat, bowl of Crunchy Nut cornflakes, a satsuma and Fry's Turkish Delight. I have passed into my Decadence. And I'm loving it. #theferrisfiles #mataphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #mycottenham

I come across more or less unused art materials and rush at them like a dog at a gate; or people give me stuff unexpectedly. Have stopped 'Seen in Cambridge' page on fb, but still it's taking over an hour to do my social! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing

I often forget. Only when I trawl through old folders do I come across things. Even after a few months! Ready for this New Year. I go to bed at 10.00 as usual. get woken by fireworks! Pain. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Lay Figure. House is like a firidge. At least food won't go off. Calcio sulla tv. I hate football. Always have. It seems to be only about money, not sport! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #frustration

The artist burns. That is their state and position; can't be helped. And for me it's too late to become 'normal' and reject the internal conflagration. Buona domenica! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

conjuration. Trying to do 2 pieces of art per day at the moment; one may be quite small, a postcard modified. But drawing downstairs while the lodger's away, and using acrylic in the studio. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #artforsale

Listen To Me. Took sketchpad, chalk and charcoal downstairs last thing at night to try to persuade myself to draw today. I did not. Painted, but not really in my wheelhouse. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #dragon #youth

Sleeper. I think about Paula Rego and Phyllida Barlow: both waited a long time for true success. It'd be nice. I could move to Italy with my ill-gotten gains! #theferrisfiles #drawing #boy #dragon #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Flower Arrangement, a couple of years ago. Acrylic on pizza packaging. Was feeling poor, as now: £400+ water; £230 website renewal; £100+ SEO; and the cost of Christmas. And Westminster says it understands the cost of living! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #frustration #gayart

Building Babel. Off to bedroom to read. Been preparing a couple of backgrounds and cutting collage elements to add to postcards. If I do 2 a day, the 100 will be finished by the end of January. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #artforsale #metaphorsaplenty

Unreal Still-Life. Thinking of doing a very large green turtle skeleton as entry for the snooty CDS, but not sure yet. The news out there is hideous today. Collapse of the West guaranteed. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Thornborough 1. Periodical excursion into landscape. Put the News on. May last only a few minutes. Watching 'Absentia' on Netflix. Not sure. It's a bit slow. May pay off by the end, but there are 3 seasons. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #landscape #mixedmedia

My first set of Pantine had the info still visible, partly to make a square format for the painting. Not sure I'd do the same now. Some contributors completely obliterated the stimulant colour. Missed the point a bit. #theferrisfiles #artforsale #mycottenham

Rubber. Can't do these in the winter really. Hope the deli is open this morning; hope Steve is OK? Tesco coming after 8.00, so may have to buy choc from PO later. Paying the [redacted] Council tax today? #theferrisfiles #frustration #mycottenham
