"Mad Dragon Meets Some Bugs" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over crayon on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Those dang bugs get EVERYWHERE! Luckily, Mad Dragon is pretty chill... He didn't eat ANY of the bugs, but he did develop the urge for popcorn! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Ghosts are Here" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on found paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] His hair is standing straight up! (And it's not just the excessive caffeine!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Well Well Well (Is Potato)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on water damaged construction paper with digital embellishments and color.] I don't know what this is supposed to be. Perhaps it's some kind of earth elemental? Or a haunted potato??? Who knows... I just hope it's happy! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Hedge Maze" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Free-writing nonsense with some cartoons and scribbles. I think there are monsters in this work, but maybe they're just in the words---not in the drawings. Maybe we can meet behind the coffee shop and play dice in the alley and try to imagine that arcades are real again and all of the giants in the world are nice and bake cakes and cookies, and the aliens aren't afraid to come and visit us anymore! And that's what this drawing / writing / thing is about! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Run!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Chalk pen, felt pen, and metallic marker on old, damaged construction paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Just, like, RUN, dude! (We don't know why he's running. Maybe a race? He looks pretty happy about it, whatever's going on!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Happy as a Robot (Colorized)" by RFY (HF)

"Think That Go To War..." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] To quote Boy George, "War is stupid, and people are stupid..." If you kill a few people with a knife, you're a monster who needs to be executed. If you shoot people you can barely see with a gun or missile, you're a WAR HERO, and receive medals and honor. What am I missing here? Seems like war is what happens when intelligence and communication break down. Stupid... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"HALFASS #1" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Mixed media digital collage zine.] I put this five page pdf zine together today because I wanted to. It has art and thoughts and secrets and a little bit of syrup, although that probably won't come thru the digitization very well... (Next time, maybe.) Making 101 editions and letting them loose for a meager 0.13 tez each! Seems fair to me... I might burn the unclaimed editions when I get sick of looking at them... Maybe. Maybe not. I'm a loose cannon... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Got up about 7:AM this morning cuz I wanted to give myself time to eat the chocolate croisant that Mariah brought home from work yesterday (with some coffee, of course.) It was good. Felicity helped me eat it and liked it, too. Then I got Felicity dressed, took Mariah to work, came back home, took Felicity to school, came back home and grabbed some comic books, then I went up to the parking lot outside the eye clinic where Mariah works and read until she got released for lunch. We grabbed some drive-thru coffee and went up to the lake to park in the shade of the trees with all their leaves turning red and yellow, and we ate lunch. When time evaporated (too quickly), I dropped her back off at work and came home AGAIN. Now, after making the bed. I have about an HOUR AND A HALF (approx. 90 minutes) of "free time" before I have to go pick Felicity up from school, then come back home, then pick Mariah up from her work, then come back home and (finally) be DONE for the day! The going up to the eye clinic to wait for Mariah to get lunch wasn't a typical element of my day, but it gave me a good excuse to read some comics - even though the SUN was burning directly down on me in the car! I had to hang my jacket from the rear-view mirror and the sun-visor as a shield, just to stay alive and unscalded... Woooop!
Does ny of that sound silly to you? (Which part[s]?)

I'm tired. I would take a nap, but then I wouldn't get no artz done!!!

"The Mysterious" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ballpoint pen, felt pen, melted wax, paper and cardboard collage, 3+ decade old printed fabric, and packing tape on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] I have created this postcard to send to somebody. I'm not sure who that somebody is going to be yet, but MEANWHILE, the digital creation can be YOURS!!!! Gosh! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
