This is all happening before. Not WAY before, just before... Take note. Someday, it will be after (but not yet.)

"Spiritual Conflict" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Colored pencil, crayon, and sticker collage on paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] In this harrowing image, Felicity (my granddaughter) and I portray a person experiencing a horrifying spiritual trial, being both attacked and aided by various animal and non-human entities. Hopefully, when the ordeal is over, the experiencer will have reach a new level of understanding... (And, we really hope they don't get eaten during the experience...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

"Like a Real Reptile" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] The title for this comes from a song by The Church. I like this piece! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Actually, I like this piece so much, I'm going to give it away (for less than it cost for me to mint it!) I'm making 101 editions of this sucker and letting them go for a measly 0.0023 tezos each!!! (That's currently about a penny in USD - maybe less...) In a few days, I'll get tired of this piece and burn any editions that haven't been claimed. Got it? Good. Now grab one (before I change my mind and burn them all!)

"Elastic Brain Power" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital letters and digital collage over moshed and mangled, recycled image with digital embellishments and color.] Nonsense. That's what this is. The words are nonsense. The images are nonsense. The tone is nonsense. (I hope you like it!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Fortune Cookie Dreams (Fuchsia)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photographed fortune cookie and fallen tree, collaged digitally with digital embellishments and color freaking.] The final "Fortune Cookie Dreams" piece. (I made a lot of these.) This one is probably my favorite, cuz it almost looks like a sick sunset, even though I took the photo of the tree in the morning! (Weird!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

“In the Shadows” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page with digital layers, embellishments, and colors all digitally collaged over a moshed and abused older image! Layers of unreality!] There are so many dogs barking all around me. I KNOW there's something in the shadows that I can't see... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"He Had Never" by RFY (HF)
[Crayon, felt pen, glitter, paper and plastic collage, and packing tape on weathered construction paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] This piece is a really shitty collage that I made to mail to someone. (Hopefully, they enjoy shitty collages!) Ha! It is kinda funny... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Pale Orange Ghost" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] We can't be sure of anything...except that ghosts are most likely orange, not white. Can I get an amen??? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

“Psycho-Artifacts Bulletin #6” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Words processed in a word processor program digitally collaged with a selfie taken in the backyard with my phone and a moshed, hand-drawn, ink on paper drawing.] FOOLS love words... Great for playing tricks!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Carpet Critter" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over photograph of carpet that I took with my phone. (No - I don't know why I did this.)] This is clearly a horrible monster that I caught napping on my bedroom floor. I'm guessing that he got really drunk, came into the wrong house, and passed out on the floor. I left the creature sleeping while I went to the store to buy Sharpies and an ice-cream bucket, but the monster was gone when I returned. It DOES appear as though he stole a Pop-Tart packet before leaving... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Seeing Spots" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Lightheaded, I guess... That's probably what's causing these hallucinations. Nothing weird or super-natural... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Slither Over Toilet Seat on Wall" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on notebook page, layering, digital embellishments and color over a photo that I took with my phone.] A few weekends ago, I went to watch my daughter compete in a bowling tournament up north (in Mt. Vernon, Washington), and for some reason, the bowling alley we were at had a toilet seat nailed to the wall. I asked this snake to see if he could figure out what the point of the toilet seat was, but he told me, when he got done crawling all over it, that he couldn't read. Thanks, Snake... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Certificate of Inauthenticity" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Liner pen on paper with digital embellishments, color, and moshing.] The heartbeat of a generation... Thinking can make it happen. The world isn't ready, but that's fine. We have time...as long as things don't speed up too much. (Time and speed are linked, of course...) Flashes of whatnot baked in a pie... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

The world has finally reached NOW. (I can't believe it!) See you in the future! (If you enter my field of vision. I'm not prognosticating, just being jovial!)
Later!
