I have a friend (who used to work with me at the Writing Center where I’ve worked (off and on) since 2005) who calls Easter “Easterwe’en.” He has a great many photos at his fingertips of humans in freaky bunny outfits and children crying, and he plasters them all over his social media site during this season. Now that Easter is OVER, we can start getting ready for Halloween! Hurray!!!

Here’s what I posted on Tweeterz this morning:
“After a night of no-sleep, I will be attempting heroic levels of self indulgence today: coffee and donuts for breakfast, loud tunes to groove to, and a ridiculous number of nonsensical #cryptoart mints on several different platforms.”
“BEWARE...”

"Monstro" by Richard F. Yates (FH)
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] The whale named Monstro was obviously an imposter. The REAL Monstro is a multidimensional, vampiric gas cloud! ---Richard F. Yates (Fooly Hole)

I’m in a Dada mood. Here’s “Da da da” by Trio!

"Squidly"
[Ink on notebook page with digital embellishments, layering, and color.] Squidly just floats along in the war-torn sky as bombs explode and smoke and debris fill the lungs of the PHYSICAL beings present. (Sometimes, it pays to be a ghostly, non-corporal squid...)

[There’s always gotta be at least one problem. This time, I’m getting a message from Rarible that says, “Content is not available yet” ?!?! I’m hoping it EVENTUALLY goes through! I’ll update when it does…(If I remember to do that…)]

"Kills Sad Thoughts"
[Felt pen, crayon, paper collage, sticker collage, tape, and googly eyes with digital embellishments and color.] I enjoy collage. I also enjoy drawing - and coloring images digitally. That mixed media approach is what we have here! As for content, that's my buddies, bunny and Mr. Fresno! That's enough, right?
P.S. - This piece is my most recent FREE TEZ ART works. I'm creating 23 editions of this work and giving them away for ZERO TEZ! Enjoy! (Grab quickly!)

"Sick"
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint with a touch pad on a shitty, old laptop. As all art should be made!] He's sick, but he's pretty okay with it...
[I’m also out of liquid Hive for minting new works! That means I’m making them more quickly than they are selling. That’s fine, as I can get more Hive (the cryptocurrency) from the posts I publish on Peakd and Ecency! BUT, until I get more liquid, I’m going to have to cut back on the minting there… Bummer… It’s one of my favorite places to share art!!!]

"Devil Duckie (April 2022)"
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint using a touchpad on my ancient laptop.] The Devil Duck as a teenager (when he was only MOSTLY menacing - instead of FULL ON EVIL...)

"Pumpkin Patch (At Night)" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Crayon, felt pen, colored pencil, sticker collage, and googly eyes on printed paper with digital embellishments and color.] This is a wild collage created as a collab with my granddaughter, Felicity. Now that it's Spring, it's time to start getting ready for Halloween! Let's DO IT!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Low-Fi (Happenstance)"
[Felt pen, paper collage, and sticker collage on paper with digital embellishments.] This is a collection of found (and manipulated) materials. I enjoy the strangeness and "badness" of the piece!

"River Sand"
[Photograph taken "ON LOCATION" with my phone.] The wife and younger daughter and I visited a riverside, sandy beach on the Columbia a few weeks ago. This is EXACTLY what the beach looked like. Isn't it amazing??? (I think those boots I was wearing are around eleven or twelve years old. Tough old things!)

"That Guy’s a Downer"
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint with a crappy touchpad on my ancient laptop.] There are evil eels singing all around Mr. Pointy, but he's still filled with toxic positivity... Nasty.
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Alabastard"
[Various pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and moshing...] The name of this game is texture. Doctor Texture to be exact. His nefarious goal is to upholster the entire world! We CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN...

Let’s do some poetry (for the #hiveblopomo challenge! This is day 18 of 30!):
#18
The puzzle of time
Concludes with a sharp, hot crack
Then it goes backwards
(They don’t all have to make sense…)

And here’s last night’s Tweeterz art share:
“Rebirth and renewal are upon us, and to prove it, the 8 legged splarg has emerged from its hibernation cocoon to become tonight's #freetolookat #art share! Enjoy! (From a safe distance...)”
“GOOD NIGHT!”

Later!
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
