According to certain philosophical voices in the 1990's, "The world is a vampire!" To protect your self from the blood-sucking world, you'll need a GARLIC NECKLACE, or just poke anything in the eye that gets to close to your throat. Actually, the poking works against creeps and sharks, as well as vampires. Something to think about...
Let's do some ARTZ!!!

"Clock is Broken" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over a screen-shot of my phone's home screen, which is itself an old digital drawing I created 8 or 9 years ago... The re-circle continues!] Reality twice removed and scribbled on with digital pixels!

"Drain Weasel (Plus)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Some might have a diary or a journal that they collect their thoughts in... MINE is more a scrap book / slash / classified add from the back of a 1970's horror comic! (I mean, not to BRAG or anything...)

"Not My Reality" by RFY (HF)
[Ink drawing on notebook page, photographed, and run thru the MOSH-MACHINE.] It started as a clearly defined image (created in analog with my own hands), but I've CRUNKED the SHIRT out of it with an online filter. Why? Why did I do that? Ain't it obvious??? I wanted to see what would happen...

GAWD DAAAAYAM! Time is in freefall again! What the heck!? I need to do some serious STOPPING and CHILLING and BASKING IN THE NOW... I'm going to lose every moment, if I don't give myself time to set those memories in mental stone...
BAND NAME? MENTAL STONE...

"Bedroom Star": photo by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Blurry digital photograph taken with my phone without enough light for a clear image to be captured...] This is a photo of the ceiling in the South-Eastern corner of our bedroom. We bought the star at an art gallery / slash / novelty shop in Ashland, Oregon, a few years ago. We keep it on all the time, which is probably a fire hazard... (Gosh!) Still, having neat things like this where I can see them gives me a happiness boost, and helps me have a positive disposition... That's good, right?

"Swirl Hum and Growl" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, brush pen, gel pen, paint pen, and glitter pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] HEY! Don't throw that applesauce packaging away! It could become a RALLYING CRY for some excited weirdo with too many pens and a bunch of recycled debris! That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT! (Or something...)

"Little Road" by RFY (Holy Fool) & RSRW
[Cardboard, paper, and sticker collage, and tape, on construction paper with digital embellishments and color.] For some reason, in August of 2025, Riot and I took some construction paper and strips of cardboard and built a little traffic track for Riot's little cars to drive on. It was pretty fun, but (being paper roads), the construction wouldn't last forever. THUS, I felt I should document what remained of the event, after the fact. Lovely, mundane nonsense. MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER THESE MOMENTS! (Or be destroyed...)
