This is where I went to school! Kimbolton Castle, once seat of the Dukes of Manchester. My father thinks it made me gay. I can no longer argue with him about that. #theferrisfiles #ferrisphotos #frustration #nostalgia #kimboltonschool

My tutors told me to never combine oil pastel and ink... Well, you can guess what I did. I hate confrontation, but I am a stubborn rebel. Capricorn through and through! #theferrisfiles #kimboltonschool #mural #drawing

Spaced Out. I wanted to do a mural as a workshop at my old school. It never materialised. Story of my life. The metaphor revolves around literal flights of fancy. This place made me. #theferrisfiles #drawing #kimboltonschool #nostalgia

Where I went to school. National Thank A Teacher Day. Geoff Coles, Ian Burton, David Donaldson and Malcolm Burns. Thanks guys, you were brilliant. Converted me to a lover of Spain and Mexico. #theferrisfiles #kimboltonschool #ferrisphotos #nostalgia

Let this be the last for a while. Need to do other stuff this morn. Should be doing Italian lesson, but just don't feel inclined. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

On Foundation Course - a vain attempt to restart, to do what I did post-VI Form - we had to do a sketchbook of a place we loved. I did Kim; some images fairly tangential. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

Sketch for a mural I never made. There's not a commercial bone in my body, but am getting too close to the end, and I have 26,000 paintings and other artworks to sell. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

Modified readymade, as it were. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

I (almost) hated my time at uni; should have gone to asrt school, or at least East Anglia. So I see this as my alma mater. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

Let me try this. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

I need a secretary. I am too long in the tooth to manage things. Insta is SO rubbish when it comes to uploads from a PC. Diabolically bad. #KimboltonSchool #KimboltonCastle #OldKimboltonians #OneSchoolOneFamily #Wisdom

My alma mater. Uni did NOTHING for me, so this is my secondary school. Hated it until the VIth Form, then I loved it. Thought OKs might buy my artwork on the subject, but no. The world sucks over all. #theferrisfiles #kimboltonschool #kimboltoncastle #nostalgia #education #frustration

Moonrise. Mixed media on paper. £125, but you'll have to collect. No-one will. Kimbolton was where I went to school. It shaped me. University had no effect. #theferrisfiles #artforsale #kimbolton #kimboltoncastle #kimboltonschool #frustration
