Want to use D on Monday to repose this image. Same chair downstairs waiting. Another cabinet minister has to apologise. Love the integrity of our politicians. #theferrisfiles #malemodel #nostalgia #frustration

Jack Sprat. How to reduce boxer shorts to a minimal signifier. Elon Musk pay packet? This should not be. That governments do nothing about the super-super-rich makes me vomit! #theferrisfiles #underpants #mixedmedia #nostalgia #frustration

This was my previous favourite model. He was a smoker and had to have a fag break at least twice during the 2 hour session. Had to persuade him to put his pants on before going into the garden. #theferrisfiles #malemodel #acrylicpainting

Coffee and crunchy nut to get the day underway. Is the dragon my version of Crow? Millions watch 'The Celebruty Traitors.' What is wrong with the human race? Don't get me started... #theferrisfiles #dragon #mixedmedia #frustration

Appropriation, erasure, multi-valence, what more could you want? Nice to see the almost-full moon out in the dawntime. Feeling really tired. I hate getting older. #theferrisfiles #malemodel #artforsale #nostalgia

I guess ultimately this is a reprise of the unicorn and virgin legend. Lay awake thinking about my new model; hope he doesn't disappoint. In the end it's just can he sit still long enough? #theferrisfiles #artforsale #mycottenham #nostalgia

Shell. Typical use of a sketchbook page: not for sketches, but for a complete work in itself. Will they be broken up after my fame and my death? #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #artforsale

A reductio ad absurdum. Life model didn't come, but a new new one on Monday. Both called Dan. Weird world. T may bring me some paperbacks tomorrow, but bought one in Histon for 50p today. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #artforsale

Super-cropping. I see snippet like this in the village more and more; must be the length of time I've spent looking? It's all about shape and colour, even when muted. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham

The beaver supermoon rising behind the fox thatch. Sounds like a line from a Symbolist poem. Quiche and chips for tea, The Boot for lunch tomorrow. Living the life! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham

Oil pastel and ink on an old bag. I was an eco warrior avant la lettre. The state of the artist. Went to Histon this morning, to book a dental check up. And take some pictures. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #artforsale

Scrotum and bee. One of my Scouts put a pair on not realising there was an insect inside. Poor bunny. Yes, I know it's weird, but then life imitates art, they tell me. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #nostalgia

Worklessness. Is that a word? Is that a real state? Mild this morning, but the trees in the carpark are losing leaves like nobody's business. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #malemodel

Primavera. And now they are talking about the jobless. They worry about AI, but 'News' seems to be generated in a back room, written on the back of a cigarette packet! #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #frustration

Modernisation of the National Curriculum. What an absolute load of donkey droppings, and it won't be implemented for another 3 years. This government is the worst EVER! #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #mixedmedia #frustration

Will be doing life drawing with a new model today. I don't even know what he looks like? I hope is good, which means can he sit still? Finally some PO scandal victims sorted. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #malemodel #mixedmedia #gayart

We are exposed to 2000+ logos/brandnames every day. You may not think so, but think about car emblems, things on clothes... let alone the bombardment of ads everywhere. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #artforsale #logos #frustration

6 notifications. I am cock-a-hoop. I do love an archaism, now and then. My lefta arm aches after the jab yesterday. Zentangles might be the only thing I got from CVC. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #malemodel #mixedmedia

Trying to find an art course in Italy. Looked at Trieste, but it was 1000euros for 2 weeks, plus accommodation, food, transport, etc. Tropea is a possibilty. I do love the south. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #monster #mycottenham

Blue Boy. Response to the Gainsborough perhaps. I have triple chocolate brownie to feed D too, if he wants. Found an unused large sketchbook recently, so can draw in chalk and charcoal. #theferrisfiles #acrylicpainting #artforsale #malemodel #mycottenham

Dawn. Cheese and broccoli quiche for lunch tomorrow with chips. Will feed the new man if he wants to be fed. Just found some extra Pantone cards. That'll give me something to do Thurs/Fri. #theferrisfiles #mycottenham #acrylicpainting #artforsale

One of those days! Had a flu jab this morning. A bit of a weird encounter in the deli. 45 mins to get this dashed PC to work. I really want a male to photograph naked, properly lit, severely cropped. #theferrisfiles #mixedmedia #artforsale #mycottenham

Wire pants, a sculpture project. New model coming to be drawn tomorrow. Hope he can sit still; that's the only requirement, though it'll be nice if he's ripped! #theferrisfiles #artforsale #mycottenham #pants

Not Brancusi. Egyptian, unfinished. Or it's a model of the average user of this platform? Can't be arsed to add anything else! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #mycottenham

More Pantone today, perhaps. Have incorporated Italian images. Now there is British tiramisu. Tesco variety has Marsala wine in it. Italians never add alcohol. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #italy #artforsale

Pavia. There seems to be a fair few 'imitations' of the Milanese grand arcade. May go to the deli, or perhaps wait until tomorrow. Better get the crumpets out of the freezer. Life is so exciting! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #italy

There's seemingly fewer fungi around, or is it another one of those 'things were different when I was young' phenomenon? But it could be the pollution in the soil? Who knows. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #fungi

Reconstructing the deli. Hate the bloody greyness that's dominating the weather scne. I would far rather have freezing conditions, but the sun still bright. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

No fricking notifications. Will leave it in case there's a sudden surge of fame. As likely as a materialisation of a godling on the village green. Plus or minus... #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration #halloween

They were clearing some of the reeds and detritus from the moat, ready for the return of hibernating great crested newts. Volunteers at work in the village. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #newts

Very few displays this year, fewer prepared to spend on ket. Cost of living plus ennui at the mess we are in? One of the pumpkins is vomiting. Exactly! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #halloween

My take on the Fitz show. Had yogurt and seeds with grapes for breakfast, rather like Francesca in Milan. Looking forward to a salted caramel pretzel brownie for second breakfast. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #cambridge #fitzmuseum

The view from Pho's upper floor. Very autumnal out there, but the food was bloody fantastic. Most meals in town seem to cost about £50 per head. This was £60 for both of, including beer, and we were stuffed! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #cambridge #autumn

This is a goody! Dreadful news about the stabbing on the train, but again I reel at the expressions of surpise. This is not cynicism, but rather a clear danger from the inadequacies of law and education. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #mycottenham

Our very own Nazca lines. Green Party ahead of Labour in the polls currently. Why on earth is anyone surprised by that? This is one of the problems: the overriding narrative spoils free thinking. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

Does this seem like a reasonable return to you: I do 6 posts and I get ONE notification? More contemporary art in the stuffy village of Rottenham. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

Like this one, cos Brancusi is accidentally anticipated by millennia. It was an interesting show, but not worth £14.50, and NO reduction for seniors. Cambridge Uni has enough money to subsidise. Greed! #theferrisfiles #fitzmuseum #ferrisphotos #frustration

Miraculous little objects at the Fitz yesterday. Truly a box of frogs. I proposed to do boys dance at school, but they wanted lunchtime; 20 mins at best after eating and changing. Hardly worth it, so we didn't. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration #fitzmuseum

La chatte botte. He came again today. I open the patio doors, but he doesn't agree to come into the warmth. Cats! 2 new pantines underway and the lodger coughing like a coughing thing. Poverino. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #cats

Shoebox packing at the Village Hall. Stumbled on this. Found K there. Mum did the same in Knebworth. Will pass it on to the magazine tomorrow, i think. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #charity #mycottenham

Another 'no notificaation' day. Thanks! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #pavia

Just post one today. Just cba'd! #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

Woke at 6.13, but I'm un-woke now. Thank goodness! I almost had tiramisu for breakfast, but resisted. I am so good. Seafood lasagne fro lunch again, 'cos it was so very good. Bit more pepper? #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham

The Cottenham Trilobite. Must engage with the flu jab thingy! I love this season, though I hate the British winter. If there were snow it'd be OK, but that tends to NOT happen now. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #weird

I look back at times when i wish I had this camera: Kimbolton and CVC. I offered to do Instagram for the latter, twice, but there was no take-up. Some schools post every single day. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

I'll protect you from the hooded crow, keep the van-drivers from your door... Or something like that. Supposed to be cold out, but at least it's bright. I hate the dreadfuls greys of the UK. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #autumn

Part of me felt like NOT posting anything this morning. Do people see posts, but not like or comment? Or do they NOT see them in the first place? Who on earth knows? Window view. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham #frustration

So Italian trip garnered few responses, so back to the village grind. The struggle in the 'exotic' location has a knock-on effect back at home. Need to go out today to seek images. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #mycottenham

Found Milan another paradigm for inequality, rather like Cambridge, but no matter! No plans for today. Perhaps where the ennui sidles in? bit of art, bit of language learning. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #italy

How many visitors know about the history of Gothic architecture? How many understand the process of stone-carving? How many grasp the physics of buttressing? Asking for a friend. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #italy
