"DAY 12
Back to the word art! Let me try a primitive emoticon :-) Old school...
I'm currently listening to a spaces on Tweeterz, and it's a bunch of artists talking about their pets! Ha! (I also live with animals, but they don't belong to ME. They're more like fuzzy roommates...)
WHOA! Either the space ended suddenly or my connection dropped! Ha! That's okay. (I always feel like I'm being rude if I leave before the space is over!) Now I can concentrate a little bit better, not having funny conversation going in my ear... (When I was young, I used to believe that I could concentrate through almost anything, but it's also possible that I might not have understood what concentration actually IS. NOW, I can't even read without peace and quite. [Those two things are in short supply around here...])
[Shifting gears...]
The year is almost over. I'm big on "DEFINING POINTS," primarily as a means of resetting and trying to REV new energy into my head. It's all gunked up with meds and psychosis and age and anxiety, so it takes a SERIOUS jump-start to put my mind in motion. Doing these daily writing pieces IS helping. I'm pleased with the idea of having a THING to do each day, a "RESPONSIBILITY" if you will... Funny how having a set TASK or two can keep you (and what I really mean is "ME") awake and moving. I need that.
Tomorrow is day 13, and anybody who knows me will be able to guess that THIRTEEN is an important number for me. I'll have to do something special... (BUT WHAT???) [Mystery!]
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)"

"Dangerous Glacial Peaks" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over moshed photograph that I took!] The frozen peaks were terrifying even when just seen in the few film reels that had made it back, but the strange, electronic phenomena (some would say COSMIC phenomena) make this ascent practically impossible. We leave in the morning... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Two days left of the SATURNALIA SALES EVENT! Grab for only ONE TEZOS from now until Dec. 31, 2022! After that, the price skyrockets!!!

"DAY 13
My oh my... THIRTEEN DAYS! How does this happen to good people? (Why is there EVIL in the world???)
Actually, I'm pretty happy. I have a roof over my head, cookies from time to time, a bunch of books, and time to make my arts. Some of the most fun I've had, lately, is just sitting in bed making my pictures or silly posts on the laptop while Mariah sits next to me laughing at cat videos. She has a three day weekend starting after work tonight! (New Years...) Maybe we'll take an entire day to just CHILL!!!
ROOM FOR DOUBT!
THIRTEEN. Prime number.
Sure, we're broke as a joke right now, and probably will be for a few months (between our last vacation and Xmas, we are in debt...) Sacrifice to ensure future prosperity. asdfjkl; The future is now! (I hope you're not looking for meaning. I'm just enjoying myself.)
Destroying the moral fabric of society! (Everyone needs a goal!)
Will I continue this writing experiment? Probably. As I mentioned in one of my earlier entries, having a daily requirement (even a self-imposed responsibility) is good for me. I can sink into apathy fairly quickly, if I'm not careful. MENTAL HEALTH is no joke. KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! And this forced writing project is actually fun! It's fun to MAKE even if nobody reads it... (Not even me!) Freewriting is a solid method for getting a brain moving. MINDS IN MOTION are a beautiful thing!
I promised something special for the 13th entry, so here is a new LOW-KU poem!
Okay, hear me out
We build a new world out of
Electric candy!
(That one makes no sense! That's PERFECT! I love nonsense, and there certainly seems to be some strangeness floating in those few words. I also enjoy the fact that it's in perfect haiku form: 5 / 7 / 5 syllable count per line. Yep. Solid form!)
That's it for now. Back tomorrow with episode 14, if I don't get bored with the idea of writing or just forget! LATER!

"3 Eyed Pixel Papa" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Moshed selfie taken with my phone!] Trippin' on excessive sugar, Pixel Papa develops a third eye (and second nose!) Perhaps a second self from an alternate dimension was fusing with the "normal" Papa was all know... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Today and tomorrow are the last opportunities to grab some cheap ass 1 of 1 art. Get this piece for only ONE TEZ from now until 31 Dec. 2022. (After that date, the price goes WAY UP!!!)

"Little Egg Head" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Having an egg-shell for skin must be tough! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Saturnalia Overdrive is almost over!!! Last chance for cheap 1 of 1!

"Sight Seeing" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on paper with digital embellishments and color.] Vacationing in someone else's head. Good times!? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Will THIS be the final Saturnalia Overdrive sales bargain??? (I don't think so.) Get this unique (1 of 1) piece for only ONE TEZ either today or tomorrow! After Dec. 31st (tomorrow), the price goes UP to 13 tezos!!! It's almost over!!!

"please please please" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] If you know The Smiths, then you know what comes next... If you don't know The Smiths....you should... (This is not meant to be an endorsement of some of the horrible shit that Moz has said in the last few years. It's difficult to understand, but sometimes artwork is made by nasty people...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - The Saturnalia Overdrive event is only good for today and tomorrow! Want this for only ONE TEZOS? Grab before Jan. 1st, 2023!

"Maintain Low Tones" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Three characters or one character transforming? The horror of color. Signs and symbols are everywhere! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Comical Poker Face" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over found image layered in a free app on my phone!] This bot is created specifically to win at poker. However, it was created by a completely inept poker player, so it's not very good at its intended mission... (So sad...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Saturnalia Overdrive winding down!

"DAY 14
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day! I've got over 150 items to change to a new price on Objkt.com, and I have a new contract to start, AND I have a mini-manifesto / slash / art piece to mint. Mariah wants to "take down Xmas" tomorrow, as well... (So, something in the digital realm AND something in the physical world...)
It's probably good to venture into the physical every now and then... Honestly, I usually START my artworks on cardboard or paper before photographing and embellishing the bits in some free app on my phone. (I'm old and cheap...)
Riding giant bats. Flying at night, trying not to pierce the necks of TOO MANY innocent victims... (Ooops... I slipped into monsters again...)
Zam blam! I supposed I can let you folks go now. (This marks 14 days, two FULL WEEKS of daily writing. That's good, right??? Let's see how long I'm gonna keep going...)
LATER SKATERS!
