Not sure why, but I've been feeling a bit FRAZZED lately. (This happens.) (Chaos and entropy are the OUT THERE, even if "THE TRUTH" isn't!)
Here's ARTZ... (Maybe it will help us feel better...)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Within the Atmosphere (Psychic)" by RFY
[Acrylic, Sharpie, glitter, and felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] It was a powerful explosion... Why couldn't we HEAR it?? (Maybe it was a psychic explosion!?) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Octopod" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] He (or she? How do we tell?) seems to be upside down, but who knows? Gravity might not work the same way for water creatures... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Sacred Researcher" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Understanding begins by taking in information, but it doesn't END with just intake. For information to become knowledge, it must be contemplated, judged, tested, and integrated... But what would I know about it? I'm just a fool... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/597

"Rift (Night Vision)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon, gel pen, and felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] There are rifts that we can see through, and there are rifts that can be PASSED THROUGH by those who have the proper key... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Cheap thrills!!! I want everyone to have the chance to be a collector, so I'm releasing 101 editions of this piece for only 0.0013 #tezos each! That's almost NOTHING! After a few days, I'll feed the unclaimed editions to the FIRE GODS! Joy joy joy!!!

"Pause (Glitch) - Darkness (C)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Paused t.v. stream, photographed, tweaked and moshed an manipulated.] This is a cropped and zoomed and red tinted image from my "Pause (Glitch) - Darkness" series. There is a certain "Junji Ito" quality to this image that I quite enjoy! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Tack in Foot" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] If there is a HELL*, then one of the primary tortures is probably a room full of tacks with no shoes allowed... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
*(I have doubts...)

"Grim and Gritty" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, liner pen, and paint pen on reclaimed cardboard with minor digital color tweaking.] He was an anti-hero from the '80s, until he bought a nice little bar on the beach in Palm Springs. Now he makes more money AND gets to tell folks war stories about his exploits fighting crime in the "good-old-days!" ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - More CHEAP THRILLS! Making 23 editions of this piece and letting them loose for 0.0023 each! Ready? GO!!!

"Hoo Haa Chaa" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Acrylic, liner pen, felt pen, crayons, and glitter on colored paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Experimentation and expression. Sometimes, the image is just a product of the motions of a body, with nothing deeper to consider. Sometimes... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/602

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Eleven or Twelve Survived" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Mood Vertigo (Icier)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Moonlight Bay (Embossed)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, and crayon on tinted paper with digital embellishments and color.] The vacation was great, so I had this scene branded on my ass. The infection provided the coloring! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

When I SELL a few pieces (and I have, lately), then I get to go COLLECTING! I like to look through the "NEW MINTS" and "NEW LISTS" pages on Objkt to try to find images that grab my eye! (At least one of them...)

"Toaster Pastry Addiction" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ultra fine point Sharpie and cardboard collage on cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] I have a problem.

"Eye (11 aug. 22)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Gel pen on textured paper over green tinted envelope with digital embellishments, drawing, and color.] It's not completely obvious if the image is textured, right? And who the Smurf is the little monster at the bottom? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/608

Today is now Saturday. I took a shower! (That's a good thing. When mental health is an issue, we celebrate the small victories!) I think Mariah (the wife) and I will be making more physical collages today... I believe... Meanwhile, I still have 60+ pieces in my "Need to Tokenize" folder. I've mentioned this before in previous posts, but FOR ME the fun part is making stuff. I can sit and draw or color or paint or write all day, but just making stuff doesn't buy food, so sometimes I have to SELL some of the goodies that I make. This is a secondary occurrence, nearly unrelated to the first. Actually, "selling" is (at best) a tertiary action. I tend to tokenize works on NFT Showroom and Objkt as a means of "OFFICIALLY PUBLISHING" them - and by this means I share my monsters and ghosts and scribbles with a fairly sizable audience. (More people than I could fit in my backyard - although the backyard here is quite big!)
Am I repeating myself? Maybe? But am I repeating myself... too much??? Maybe?
Anyways.... I'm going to upload this post and then start on more ARTZ...and I'll probably make a new playlist to listen to while I'm making the ARTZ, and I'll probably share the playlist, too. I want folks to know about the fun stuff in this world. (If you don't like it, that's okay. You don't have to! I did my part by sharing...)
