The Murdered 6. Rehashing the Crans-Montana tragedy. It's all about cutting corners to make more money. And it will probably NEVER change. I am becoming a grumpy old man! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia

The Murdered 5. The News is just so bleak. Can Homo sapiens really not come up with better government? Seems not. Worked on the turtle this afternoon. Will fix it and rework. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #frustration

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

The Murdered 3. I in fact made 4 pieces, to try out the possibilities. Will look online for green turtle skull photos. When they are such small scale the texture alters how the image looks. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #artforsale

The Murdered 2. Unusual in that the plan is to have the middle panel oriented 90 degrees to the wings. Another sketch that will NOT be fully realised. I feel myself disintegrating. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #frustration

The Murdered 1. Part of a triptych. I watch a commentator saying that out of the current Hegelian Collapse a Renaissance will rise. I don't just reject the possibility, I guarantee there are NO signs of green shoots. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #mycottenham #frustration

Jacob and the Angel. This is so slow today. Should be using the new acer, but it's stopped working already. I hate technology. More pizza packaging. #theferrisfiles #frustration #mixedmedia #mycottenham #metaphorsaplenty

Impact. For the first time ever I'm wearing long johns under my trousers. Bought when I was a scout leader, but never needed them. Though I did wear the wetsuit when i went caving! #mycottenham #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #winter

Glass Mountain. Never read it. binged-watched 'Broadchurch' Series 1 yesterday. Not sure what I thought; but I would have hated an eexetical ending as in 'Psycho,' which spoils the whole film. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mixedmedia #mycottenham

Herringbone. We have snow, I have just taken 300 photos while circumambulating the village. Will take the rest of the morning to edit them. Wow! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #mixedmedia

Flying Mountain. Haven't popped a pill for a while. My GP said would still be doing it in my 60s! He knew me so well. T brought 6 paperbacks for me to read. Will keep me going for at least a month. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Fireflies. Lucky to be able to book The Boot at short notice. Trying to buy no more books this year. Will doubtless fail. Better recharge my Lumix battery ready for Tuesday! #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #mycottenham #mixedmedia #metaphorsaplenty

Feast - sketch. Ironic. Love using corrugated card. Do you think the Zoology Museum will let me finish my drawing on the floor; also use chalk and charcoal, not pen or pencil? #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

Burning Earth. How appropriate. My hands are so forking cold I can't even type correctly? Mixed media on old bag. Just had lunch at The Boot, Histon. Best duck breast ever. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #artforsale

Area 51. I should do a drawing of the Tetrarchy of Vileness. Won't name them here, as it'll beget trolling, but some of you can work it out from TPNM? Or maybe not? #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #artforsale #mycottenham

Can't even remember where I got most of the 'backgrounds' from. Another thesis fo some poor sap. Have to go to the Zoology later in the week to 'finish' the drawing of the green turtle. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #mythology #mycottenham

Tiles. I love 'imposing' an image on top of 'found' detritus. Better get ready shortly. Need to pop into Tesco to buy some odds and sods. Now there's a weird expression! #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #malemodel #mycottenham

They published my book in 1994. No-one bought it. I had my hands read once. 'You'll be very successful in old age as some kind of artist: not writing, maybe painting.' I'm still waiting for either. #theferrisfiles #artforsale #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham

Product Design. Weird, isn't it? First I was an Art teacher; then they asked me to do some Drama; then, some Graphics; then some D/T for Years 7 & 8. No wonder recruitment and retention are at an all time low! #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #mycottenham #artforsale #metaphorsaplenty

I am working on a 1,5msq drawing of this, working from a biro sketch rather than this. It will be titled with Nimrod's speech from l'Inferno. #theferrisfiles #metaphorsaplenty #mycottenham #drawing

Minimalism to start. It is the only answer to the vile happenings of the world, a sort of ostrich san-burying game. The new moon has brought a dreadful reveal. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #minimalism
