"All I Know is That I Don't Know" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Operation Ivy were a ska-punk band. They were good. They wrote a song called, "Knowledge," which is still a great track. Brains, from what I've come to understand, are mysterious, and KNOWLEDGE can be somewhat difficult to come by. Perhaps we should follow the Beatles example at this point and turn off our minds, relax, and float downstream. Know thyself - or be destroyed! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Dreaming of Others" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] I don't know about you, but I often dream of folks who are no longer with us. Sometimes in the dreams I even remember that they're gone, but it rarely tends to frighten me. Instead, I'm usually just happy to have the chance to chat with folks who I can't reach in the waking world! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
