It's called BALLOONING, and it's an interesting means of transportation. Probably not safe to do at HUMAN size, but if you're a little critter, like a spider, then floating on webs is just keen!
Here's some artzes!

"Bird is Zombified" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and brush pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Some people believe that birds aren't REAL, suggesting that most or even ALL birds are spy drones created by the government and other ORGANS to monitor the population. This is false. Fewer that 10 percent of birds are spy drones, as can be seen by production reports from the major manufacturers of spy drone tech, such as Wayley Inc., Sporko, and FeltBreath. The TRUE TRUTH is that most birds are now ZOMBIES, thanks to mind control fungus, first manufactured in the 1960s as bioweaponry for overseas wars in the eastern Pacific, which mutated once introduced into Nature until a global distribution had been achieved in the early 2020s. So don't worry. The birds aren't WATCHING you, but they might eat your brains, if you leave them outside to dry, unattended, for too long. BE SAFE!

Hey PEOPLES! I have a table at an up-coming CON (in Longview, WA, USA), so if you're in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST and you wanna see what a HOLY FOOL actually LOOKS LIKE, here's your chance! It's next Saturday (FEB. 21st) from 10:AM until 5:PM at the Longview Public Library. (World FAMOUS!!!) Not only do I have a table but my daughters (as GOOFY GALS CRAFTS) also got a set-up, as well as a friend of mine or two! I'll have books and zines and hand-made paper artz and maybe some prints---but I'm mostly just going so that I can show folks how easy it is to make MINI-ZINES (little 8 pagers) and get their ideas out to the world!
[If you can't make it, I'm sure that Mariah or I will take photos to share!]

For all of you MUSIC fans out there, I have another lengthy list of tunes that I have recently added to my personal listening device! Might not be of interest to everyone, but if you ARE into weirdo music, check out the big ol' (hand-typed, by the way) list at the bottom of this postie!

"Pastel Vibes" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with a no-longer-supported, free sketch app on my phone!] The 1980s was a magickal time! Pacman, Trapper Keepers, Lisa Frank... Man... I miss it, sometimes...

Lately, the grandkid and I have been making a ton of "paper stuff." I think it's art, maybe a deconstructed BOOK that my subconscious is making? I don't know... Still, it's fun to make stuff, even if I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet! Might even just be practicing for something... I just roll with it!

Thanks, ya'll!!! Keep your receipts!

P.S. - Here is the MUSIC list that I mentioned above!
Hunt for the 303 - 01!!!
I like tunes. (You might already know that.) I also enjoy NOVELTY, NEWNESS, somethin' a little different... THUS, I have once again deleted everything off my mp3 player and started over! My purpose for the mp3 player is to keep a semi-random stream of tunes COMING AT ME while I'm drawing or writing or sleeping or eating breakfast and drinking coffee...or... You know. You get it. I'm one of them MUSIC folks. What we have below are the first 303 songs that I'm adding to the player. I'll keep adding new cuts until I get sick of hearing too many tunes too many times, at which moment, I erase and start over. Let the good times ROLL!
