Do you want another long list to tunes to look at and go, "Wuh?" Well, there's a long one at the bottom of this post! Yeah... (I like music, although I played one of my favorite songs for my son-in-law, a song by Pere Ubu, and he laughed and said it sounded like it should come from a horror movie! Ha! Maybe...)

"Limited Ability (b)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] With a little paint and some hard cider, we can take a "NORMAL" notebook page and turn it into a greasy work of propaganda art! How does that make YOU feel? Me? It makes me happy. Journals are normal, mundane objects that many humans use on a daily (or perhaps slightly less) basis, but through the MAGIC of being silly, a normal page of whatever can become a solid, "HUH?!?" And that ain't bad!!

"Modern Screen Savers" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] I asked myself this actual question today. I have an old laptop that is nearing it's inevitable demise, and I wonder if turning it off and on and moving it around a lot is likely to speed up this entropic process... Maybe it would be better to make it into a stationary machine... I used to say that I wasn't very tech savvy, but I don't think that's a good thing to tell myself anymore, so I'm going to say, "Others might have more experience in this area than me," which isn't anything against me. Are you one of those with MORE EXPERIENCE than old grandpa man has, particularly with computer voodoo? If so, let me know if there is a magick tonic that can help provide a bit more longevity to the ancient machine...

"True Confessions (25 May 2026)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital writing and drawing created with MS Paint on my only one year old laptop! Oh yeah...!]
25 May 2026 - Hello humanoids and other entities! My name is Richard F. Yates, and I've been in a bit of a FUNK lately (and not in the awesome, Parliament sense.) To COMBAT that nasty disposition, I'm turning to the ARTZ! I hope that folks recognize that I'm not trying to get RICH by flooding the interwebs with low-effort garbage! My creations are HIGH-effort garbage, and I'm proud of them. For the uninitiated, each INDIVIDUAL piece is a FRAGMENT, a holographic shard, a shattered psychic crystallization of my brain (and the efforts of many entities that I rarely acknowledge, though I probably should have by now...) Don't be angry or confused or disappointed if you look at an individual ART and think, "WTF? Is this it? Is this ALL? Why make this?" I make stuff, cuz I make stuff. There are STORiEs inside the stories, markers, metaphors, signals, and DNA-splatters of BIG ideas, but I don't think it's my job to put all the pieces together for you. I just make this stuff. I have been CALLED to make this stuff. It's automatic. I try to stay out of the way, (even though I know that's not possible. It's the CHARACTER I'm pretending to be!) For YOU, just look, laugh, and move on! If you see a BUNCH of stuff together and think, "WAIT A MINUTE... Is this actually pointing to someTHING specific? Is it COALESCING into a unified WHOLE? Is there a STORY here???" Yes. But it's a tale that some might not want to hear!!!

"Eat Some Beeps!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, and colored pencil on notebook page with digital embellishments and minor color tweaking...] Candid or cagey? Them's the kind of questions that the MASSESS will never ask. And I'm old now, so I don't mind. I'm just glad I made this. I couldn't even tell you why I chose THIS page to recontextualize as a "solo" piece, but I'm pleased that I was feeling weird that day!

That's enough for today, I think. I'm not sure why, but it takes a bit of MENTAL ENERGY for me to sit down and SHARE artwork. (It's a BREEZE to MAKE shit, but publishing it afterword...that's something else!) LATER!!!
