Friday, 2:22 P.M. - Sitting on my bed, heating pad on the back, watching a documentary on Vaporwave...and typing. I finally posted a new compilation post (to HIVE and to PATREON, but you probably know that, so I don't need to provide links. If you're DYING to know that junk, check the bottom of this post. I almost always include a list of links to my social-junk...at the END of the night!) Life has been BUSY lately, but I'm going to try to RE-ORGANIZE REALITY, so that I FEEL like I have the time and ENERGY to make more ARTZ again. It's happening! I can FEEL IT NOW! It's going UP UP UP! The SPIRITS and ENTITIES have granted me PERMISSION to infuse that universe with more of my-ME. (Please prepare yourselves and drink responsibly!!!)

"Riptide Reality Crunch" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Various pens, pencils, and crayons on paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking!] The fingers keep moving...until the don't... We done.....

"Eye of the Needle in the Camel's Eye" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Red gel pen on blue paper with digital embellishments, drawing, and color.] The MUSHROOMS like to tell me secrets, and they are particularly fond of sewing! With EYES! (Be nice to Mushrooms, is the moral to this story...)

Ever ask yourself, "I wonder what strange music Mr. Fool has been listening to lately?" Probably not, but for the ONE or TWO demented souls tortured by this kind of query, I have included my most recent MP3 machine playlist at the very bottom of this post. Continue onward, IF YOU DARE!!!

"Workin' at the Landfill" by Richard F. Yates (HF) & Riot Shane Rowdy Willard
[Felt pen, gel pen, paint pen, crayon, rubber stampers, and sticker collage on paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking...] Riot has been uninterested in the "standard" artforms lately (drawing, collage, paper works) but he has discovered Assemblage, and that's a cool thing! This piece is from about a year ago when he was still just coloring with me...

"Simple Book" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] I think this makes it all clear. It will be SIMPLE BOOK, and that's why I should write it. Someday.

"PEEP-HOLES" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with a simple, online MS Paint clone.] Channeling the spirit of the CHICKEN GREASE! We shall overcome!

"Critter" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with MS Paint on my laptop with touchpad.] Cartoon characters are funny. I like this guy (girl?) cuz they look like they have some SASS. Plus, I want to know the story of how that TOOTH got broken. Might have just been a poorly chosen jawbreaker dessert, but MAYBE it was something more mysterious!! Who knows?

"Taco from Beyond" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, rubber stamps, and sticker collage on paper with digital embellishments and color.] The chink in the armor is where the needle slipped in. The effects were nearly immediate, and the entire robot began to GLOW with a hallucinogenic ruddiness. The night would go severely downhill from here...
