Inspired by mystic atmosphere, dark erotic playtime, subtle disturbance and nightmare reflections, Scott Ferry is an artist who uses contemporary techniques as well as traditional one such as drawing to create a unique world. His current series "Charnel Ground and Sickly Playthings" is a personal mythic world wrapped in metaphors, beautiful and painfully violent experiences, the sadistic, the masochistic and funny innuendos. The environment and people he meets place an important role in his work, influencing the story, the reality and the mystery.

The various elements of daily reality seen through the eye of the artist brings out and exaggerates the intense qualities of chaos, violence, pain, love, friendship, loss, sickness and laughter. Each character highlights these qualities through an animal or child side. So we violently play and fall apart and then we are reborn and are brought back to play again.

Each drawing is an original, hand created artwork using archival pigment ink, gel ink and Copic markers on Arches acid free paper. Frames are hand painted, black & gold antique finish, with little skeleton heads, octopus, bunny heads, and other "playtime" symbols.

Scott was born and raised in Los Angeles, growing up in the gothic and chaos orientated 80's. He has exhibited in solo and group shows in California, Arizona, Washington, and Quebec, Canada. His artwork traverses both traditional drawing and also the digital realm
