"The GRUNCH" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on paper with digital embellishments and color.] From out of the smoldering remains of the building crawled a strangely transformed creature. No longer Dr. Earnest Fizzleblog, he is now only the GRUNCH!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Sky Watcher" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over photograph that I took with my phone.] The object in the sky twinked and twoodled for several seconds then blasted away at an unnatural speed towards Canada. The gator, though fairly impressed by the speed, still only gave the sighting a 6.1 on the RATE-YOUR-UAP web site. He'd seen much better... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Quite the Contrary" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, liner pen, paint pen, and metallic marker on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments, drawing, and color.] I like to be a contrarian, especially when it makes me laugh. (P.S. - I'm not making fun of the mental health crisis from the outside. I'm trying to laugh to keep from going under!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Lost My Fangs" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Thank your lucky stars. Oh my stars and garters! Start your engines. Difference engines... I lost my fangs. ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Well Worn Pencil Pouch" by Richard F. Yates & Frankie Echo Hanson
[Digital drawing on fabric, molded into useful form, abused, and retired, then photographed...] My older daughter, Frankie, turned me on to a site that made fabric from a person's designs, so I made a weird image and had it printed on a hunk of fab. Next, Frankie fashioned a pencil pouch from this material, and I used it to store drawing supplies for several years... Eventually, the device tore and gave out, thus earning a retirement. I photographed it on the afternoon of it's placement in a retirement collection... That's the story...believe it, or not!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Psychic Cyclone" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with a no-longer-supported, free app on my old, clunky phone.] When rolling through the ASTRAL SPACES, be sure to watch out for tempestuous minds which can frequently cause disruptive and potentially dangerous PSYCHIC CYCLONES! They ain't fun. ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - I haven't done a super cheap, high "print-run," piece of art in a while. Originally publishing 101 editions, and I'm letting them go for 0.013 TEZ, (and that's a bit less than 2 cents, USD, EACH!) Have a good time, but be safe out there!

"Crowded Psyche" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, paint pen, metallic marker, and glitter pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking...] Have you ever thought that your head was so full that there just wasn't enough room for YOU? Oh... Me neither... Nope. Never happens... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Visions of Things" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on paper with digital embellishments and color.] Two critters, just hanging in a snow-colored void, suddenly experience a strange, co-hallucination! Two, giant, faceless eyes! That's right! They were EYES, but WITHOUT A FACE!!! Freaky... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Punk (Obviously)" by RFY (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, paint pen, glitter pen, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Tiny chunk of cardboard with greasy self-expression all over it! Hey PUNK! Don't get old... (Oop... Too late!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Ghost Bug" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments, layers, and color.] The question is: Was he already an electric bug when he was still alive, or did he BECOME electric in the afterlife??? (Who do we call to ask? Ghost information?) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Long Ago" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing, digital collage with found imagery AND photographic elements, and general silliness.] Borrowed a bit from the video for Devo's "Peek-a-Boo." Plus there's words and squiggles and stuff... And, if you couldn't tell, that's Mariah behind the glasses and digital eyelashes! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

That's enough, in my humble opinion! (Change my mind! Or be destroyed!!!)
LATER!
