Let me post some drawings. Some seem to like them. I like using ballpoint pen as you can't erase any marks, so you have to focus. Zoology Museum, Cambridge. #theferrisfiles #drawing #nostalgia

Technical Heavens. Finally a notification on here, so this and one more post to answer. May go out to photograph, or simply indulge in what Samuel Pepys indicated with a secret symbol in his diary! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #drawing #mixedmedia

Flying Bed. It's clearly a suggestion that sex can be uplifting, though admittedly not always. I had 6 notifications, but just want to do 3 posts this morning. May go to Peterborough later. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Australia. I have never been and probably never will visit. I guess 2020 had severe wildfires? I cannot remember, but it has become universally applicable now. Egg and bacon sandwich for tea I think. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Glass Mountain. This world is going to hell in a handcart. There is only ONE issue, and that is climate change, but the stupid powers that be bicker over everything else. the band playing as the ship sinks! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #metaphorsaplenty

Top of the Pyramid. Rai News talking about the Pope's visit to Lourdes. Wondering if I should watch 'The Big Deal' on catch-up. A programme about art galleries that may send me into hideous fury! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #drawing #mycottenham

Jan 2020. Approaching Rain. predictive image, almost. Today is going to be bad. I feel it in my bones. How the hell does anyone get through the days? But we do Miraculous. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mixedmedia #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Blank. The keyboard seems to have developed a mind of its own, doubling letters sometimes, omitting at others. the world si so perfect. This really is an image of Joe Public. Sad but true. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #drawing #metaphorsaplenty

Same plant. Couldn't find any perfect black card, but it's fascinating what effect the swap has. Have begun another circular piece on canvas board. Will have to find another pic of a boy to make a start. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #flowers #photography

Babel. Not sure why I shouldm but will give you 3 pics today. Need to fit an hour or more in per day of my new discovery: Lingopie. Not perfect, but it stretches me. Now they are talking about entrance charge for London museums! #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

Bushfire. 6 years before the planet caught fire. I have contacted Teacher pensions hoping a movement after almost 3 years, but not a peep. They are a bunch of [redacted]! I need the money to emigrate. #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #frustration

Wanted to see just what the camera dd with white v. black backgrounds. This was in the garden. Looks like ikebana. Just a quick test. Now have Nabakov and Ballard to read. Bit of a change from Thursday Murder Club. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #ferrisphotos #photography

Away in a Manger. I had a very religiouss upbringing, and school had its own chapel. I rejected all that long ago. The church was good for my mother, and my ister is a vicar. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Blowpipe Boy. Part of the focus on the hero twins in Mayan mythology. Mexico seems such a long time ago now. It was 1982. Lee's funeral on Thursday made me think. He was only 39. Sad. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Sometimes I make a background and then impose the image atop. Sometimes I let the image emerge on its own, which ends up mythic and surreal. Less than one week to go now. #theferrisfiles #stilllife #acrylicpainting #nostalgia

Australia 2. Rare for me to do the multiple same-title gig. The computer just had a meltdown, printing an unending string of i's! I love this world and all that's in it! This pic is more agitated. #theferrisfiles #drawing #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Reconstruction. You're only getting one post today, as there's a dearth of notifications. My goodness, what a shallow type of interractor. Huge amounts of sorting out the house today. A mountain to climb! #theferrisfiles #drawing #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Our own Monet, of a sort. No takers for the internal door on Cottenham freebies; it's so unpredictable what will go and what will remain. That's a metaphor for life really. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #photography

The Eve of War. Rather than a visible explosion just a menacing sky. Put free stuff out in the garden. Some things were taken; canes and carboard boxes. CDs left and plastic storage containers. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #acrylicpainting #artforukraine

A Little Rough. Another painting rejected by the Royal Academy. I should wear it as a badge of courage! Would like to consign it to the LGBT+ Museum at King's Cross, along with he last copy of my hopeless book? #theferrisfiles #oilpainting #metaphorsaplenty #nostalgia #frustration

Calmer, sold, though it took years to get the payment. Collage and acrylic over M&S advert. Many thinkers think that the world is not in decadence, but in collapse. How truly true! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #frustration
