It's just that this was how he saw the world through his eyes. He compares his evolution as an artist to that of Picasso: "When Picasso was doing abstract and he was drawing females in different forms, it's not that he didn't know how to draw a female in surrealism. When he attended the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, he says, his lunch table-"from goth people to gay people to thugs from Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, that wanted to do art and graffiti all kinds of fashion people"-affected the way he now creates his art and imagery. I wanted to fit in and dress like everybody else. It was something that I was kind of ashamed of. "The way my parents used to dress me was just totally different from the norm. As a teenager, he'd wear outré clothing when all his friends were rocking Air Jordans, and back then "I felt like an outcast," he admits. If anything, Ferg is returning to his younger self.
