I've had my granddaughter looking for trees with leaves that are turning yellow and red for FALL while we're driving around lately. It's a fun game, I suppose. Better than nothing! (PLAY THE GAME!!!)
Here's some artz...

The creatures walked around the resting place, twelve times, anti-clockwise, widdershins, and he noticed. And he woke... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Segmented (Darker)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Disgusting. This piece utterly offends me, and I feel that I should be reprimanded just for conceiving the piece, let alone bringing it into the world. We apologize profusely! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Saturday - 5:30 AM" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawings created on my phone.] Woke up at 5:30 AM on a Saturday, which is stupid because there is no reason for me to be awake that early on a Saturday! The only good thing to come out of it was this dream critter. That's something, I guess! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Greetings humans and other intelligent entities!
How have you folks been? I've felt OCCUPIED lately. (Not, like, "possessed;" just BUSY.) You know the Universe is off kilter when ART must take a back-seat to TAXI-SERVICE, but so be it. We shimmy and shake WITH the earth quake...
AMIRITE???
(Nose is runny today... Good.)
The WEATHER (old guy topic) is supposed to be unseasonably warm this weekend. Not good! WE WANT AUTUMN!!! Summer is too hot for me. Will it never end?
ART is still my thing... Here's why... (Gets side-tracked...)
(There is always the possibility that THIS will be my FIRST CONTACT with another being, so I think it's okay to stop and restate the obvious from time to time - plus, this gives ME a chance to re-evaluate and [if needed] re-focus my intentions...)
---Why make art?
---Why make THIS KIND of art?
---(WHAT IS 'This kind of art'?)
---Who is my 'audience'??)
---What all do I DO???
---What makes me happy??
---Immortality?? (Yes or No??)
---What are my thoughts on the conceptual complex known as "ARTIFICIAL vs NATURAL"?
---Inspiration --> BREATHING IN...
---ART VS(???) COMMERCE? (The PUNK question...) Selling out...
---Finding a GROOVE (Why do anything at all??)
---WANT and BEING POOR and SUFFERING and CREATIVITY... (and PUNK) ---> and being distracted by cats...
Time marches on...
I am currently heat-stroking... Hot and yucky... Zing... What is happening...
Change... Don't you even try to fight with a lion. They tend to be large and sharp.
SKIP A PAYMENT...
One Two Buckle MY Shoe... Maybe?
Took my morning pills... Zing! Now that I think about it, even at four-years-old, I had trouble sleeping. I remember bugging the nurses in the middle of the night when I was in the hospital after getting run over by a car...
ABSURD. No order. Just things happening, and WE have to live with it!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIAH!!! Try to enjoy it all!
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"You Call It Low Effort; I Call It High Concept" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on found paper over book and notebook with digital embellishments and color.] Pure autobiography. I listen to music. I read books and comics. I write nonsense in notebooks. Pure... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Arcade Memories" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Travel By Invisible Ship" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, paint pen, and gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking!] Okay, listen. People are having a tough time right now, so make a dang postcard and send it to them. Even if it looks like this!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Sundays are odd... They ARE, technically, a day off, but the ANTICIPATION of the return to the "NORMAL WORK WEEK" kinda ruins them for me. I need to stop being UNSTUCK in time, and just learn to live in the RIGHT NOW. (Not easy...but I'm willing to try!)
Later, skaters!
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
