Today is Tuesday... I think I started this post last week (Wednesday? Thursday?). Then we went out of town for a bowling tournament with my younger daughter. (She took 2nd place and won $175.00!!!) And...not much else. Except art...
There's always art!

"Fuzzer (In White Void)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments, color, and layers. The actual background was dissolved during an elaborate ritual.] Fuzzer is not comfortable. He wants a milkshake! (Fuzzer is not autobiographical, in case you had suspicions...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Just a Little Worried" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Crayon, colored pencil, felt pen and sticker collage on cardstock, with moshing, digital color, and digital manipulation.] A collaboration between my granddaughter, Felicity, and me! We hand-drew and collage a chunk of cardstock, then I did the digital manipulation and moshing to make it all wiggy! Hooray! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

"Jack-o-Lantern (2 sep 22)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, liner pen, and mechanical pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Thank goodness the seasons have finally swung around enough that me drawing a jack-o-lantern doesn't seem weird.

"Separation Anxiety" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon, felt pen, gel pen, sticker collage and paper collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Mixed media piece that I created in the last few days.

"Doom in a Small Glass" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color bleaching...] I work in a pseudo-automatic fashion, sometimes, where I don't have a plan, I don't try to draw or write anything specific, and I just let my hand go... Most of the time, it's complete nonsense; HOWEVER, on rare occasions, it's somewhat cool looking nonsense! (Ha!) I'll let you decide which this piece is... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"On (31 aug. 2022)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)
[Gel pen, felt pen, liner pen, and sticker collage on tinted paper with digital embellishments and color.] Self expression can sometimes be quite beautiful, and sometimes is can be raw and freaky. This piece is odd --- almost uncomfortable to look at, but it's something that I created with my granddaughter, so I think it's cool! Hooray! I'm minting it here so other folks can look at it and say, "Hey! I could do THAT!" Yes! Yes, you could... AND you should! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

"Master Control Program..." by RFY (HF)
[Photograph of a paused television show that was sent to the MOSH machine and tweaked to high heaven!] The FULL title of this piece is "Master Control Program (In a Mood)." It reminds me of the primary antagonist from the movie, TRON. (I love that film...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Bringing Back the Bull" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint on my crappy, old laptop.] I'm assuming that everyone can tell that this piece is a magick spell. Thank me later! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Glam Fan" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Gel pen, ballpoint pen, and mechanical pencil with sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Glitter and glam rock are misunderstood today. I'm hoping that, someday, the world comes to embrace them again! (Then Ziggy shall play guitar forever!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"If You Can't Stand the Cheech..." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Found image and cardboard digital collage with moshing, digital embellishments, and digital color manipulation.] Cheech & Chong are hilarious. The Warrens were also hilarious, although they didn't know it... Yeah... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
