Starting the day with some bad art. I love bad art. Making it. Looking at it. Talking about how much fun it is! Entertainment...

And some tunes. Music is my safety-net. Mental health and stress related hypertension are serious issues with me, so I need a means of coping. ENTER TUNAGE!

So does ART! Here are several pieces that I have acquired in the recent past!

Did you know that I ALSO dabble in making THE ARTZ? It’s true! Here’s some of the “material” that I have had a hand in constructing...
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Destiny Drips Red" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, brush pen, and paint pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Is it #trashart if it's made out of trash? This drawing was created on a piece of recycled food container. (JUNK food, I might add! Ha!) The image represents my struggle against oppression and a world that wallows in boring and tedious imagery that is passing itself OFF as art - but is clearly just PRODUCT. My shit is happy to be TRASH... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - This is some #CHEAPTHRILLS, too! I'm creating 23 editions and letting them loose in the cosmos for only 0.0023 tezos each! Whoa!

"Tatered Gator..." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created in a free app on my phone!] This poor gator had a bit too much to drink at the frat party, and somewhere between midnight and when he finally crawled home, he lost not only his PANTS but his EYE, too!!! (Silly... Losing one thing is unlucky, but losing SEVERAL is just irresponsible!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/508
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Feeling Snakish" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Is that snake smiling? (Is that a good thing or a BAD thing???) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Collab Imp" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Gel pen on textured paper with digital embellishments and color.] There are forces at work in this world that the average human doesn't quite understand. My granddaughter, Felicity, has half a foot in the FREAKY ZONE, as is evident from her artistic embellishments. She's a ball to create with (and she KNOWS many secrets)! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Live to Read (Gloom)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital collage consisting of found imagery, photography, performance work, hand drawing, and digital drawing with digital embellishments, color, and moshing! Jeebus!] Digital collage is fun! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Read a damn book...

The day turns to night. The night turns to day. It is now FRIDAY! (Time travel!) I was going to continue putting artworks on this post, but I think I’m going to just slab it as it is and move on to the next post! There are plenty of words here for folks to read, right? (And some artz to look at AND some songs to listen to! If I had enough candy for everyone, I’d put that in the post, as well, but I’m pretty broke at the moment... (Life... Am I right?)
Okay, folks! Get out there and DO SOMETHING today! Why not???
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
