"Crush Coma" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, brush pen, ultra fine point Sharpie, paper and sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Stream of barely-conscious.

"Prop-Plane (Zoomed In)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photograph taken of a real object in the sky realized on my old phone.] I watch a lot of "paranormal / supernatural" clips, and I'm always disgusted at the quality of the image that seems to be shared with the world, so I decided to "TRY IT" myself. If this plane HAD been a U.F.O., my photo would have been crappy evidence... BUT (and this is the positive element) I LOVE the way this airplane looks! Why is the propeller white-ish, while the rest of the plane is dark? I don't care WHY, I just love the look, all that noise and snow and just plain terribleness! So fun! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

THIS IS A TEST of the Mental Broadcast Network. THIS IS ONLY A TEST...

WORDS FROM PAPER JOURNAL:
(15 May 2023)
Warming up outside! zeep zap zoop!
We'll never figure it out... Walk in door, it slams shut behind you and locks. What do you do? Take a bong hit! Evil chicken is probably to blame...
Flowers with teeth and brains in a vase on a table by the door. You should turn on the lights...
The "go to the bathroom" battle has begun...
You're a honko-wonko gunga gator...
Now, we're outside in the backyard. Felicity is playing in the new, inflatable pool. Seems to be enjoying herself.
(She pooped in the pool.)
(Level Up)
(16 May 2023)
Happy Unbirthday...
Tuesday. Almost 7:AM, and I seem to be the only butthead who's awake... Time marches on...
What if a character were named "October" ?? What would that say about them and their upbringing??
What color is the sky? (What color does the sky APPEAR to be ??)
I started playing EARTHBOUND... Interesting. I've also been watching Markaplier play "Witch's House." Funny... (He cusses a bit, but Felicity thinks it's funny when he screams - usually from jump scares.)
There was a...commotion...on the mountain.
---FIRE WEASEL...
Who you gonna call? What's wrong with you?? Dooby dooby doo... She bop a dooby...
SLAB... Caught on in a FLASH... Horse Thief
CHEESE... King of Nonsense
It's a double-flavor fidget spinner pop... POP!!! (Dumb.)
I feel the need... the need for SPEED! (Or, at the very least, another cup o' coffee...)
Lots of clothes changes today. Felicity has, apparently, forgotten how to use the bathroom. It's not particularly pleasant...
EAT... Eating is good. (Is it?)
Going to get some cereal...
Tweet tweet.. DRIZZLE...
[Do you get me???]

BACKYARD LIVIN'
I grabbed my laptop, my lap-desk, my iPood (called "Fnords Everywhere") loaded up with 96 hours worth of tunes to put on random, a bag of turkey jerky (I try not to eat mammals or cephalopods), a giant cup of iced coffee, a water bottle (with built in water filter), my phone, and an extension cord, and I headed for the backyard. I'm going to listen to tunes and do some marathon ARTING today! The world will be much better off. (Or I will, at the very least, and since I'm stuck in a solipsistic dream world, the entire universe will benefit. Right?) Doin' my thing...
How 'bout you?

[Scratch art page mutilated by Felicity and me, then photographed, moshed, colored digitally, with digital embellishments and drawing.] Baby shows are these toy commercials that Felicity (who is still three-years-old) watches, thinking that they are some form of entertainment. I have to do SOMETHING to make them more interesting that an advert (for me...) ---Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror) & Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Impulse Control Issues..." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created in a no-longer-supported, free sketch program on my phone.] I've really been trying with this one, but I have serious impulse control issues. I mean, I really try to ignore my urge to control my impulses and really just fucking GO WITH IT, but it's so hard to resist the urge to stifle, curtain, clip, blunt, and control my wild-ass impulses...
