"Entropy Rules the Network" by me...

Yesterday was almost 100 degrees (f) in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST! We're supposed to be 71 degrees and raining... (I don't do well in the heat...) Still... It's Monday. I think I started working on this post three or four days ago. It's probably not coherent. (Sorry...) Hopefully, the art is fun!

"Psycho-Artifacts Bulletin #4" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Selfie taken with my phone, digital drawing from an older phone, and words from my brain.] I've borrowed a lot of my philosophy from fictional characters... (They are unencumbered by factuality.) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Subconscious Instigation" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photography, found imagery, digital collage, layers, and digital drawing, with digital embellishments and color.] A lovely, calm, fun-filled trip through the subconscious mind of a neurotic, middle-aged artist. (Better wear boots.) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Fortune Cookie Dreams (B & W)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photography, digital collage, paper fortune cookie fortune, moshing, and digital embellishments.] Have you ever argued with a tiny piece of paper? Have you ever seen a giant tree blown over with it's roots all naked and exposed to the general public? Have you ever dreamed (in color?) Now go! And spread the WORD! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Goat (Non-Screaming)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created on my phone!] BAD ART RULEZZZ!!! If you've seen the new Thor - Love & Thunder film, you'll know that the funniest element is probably the screaming goats. THIS goat is not quite as funny, but he does look surprised, so he's a LITTLE funny! Funny enough??? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Monk (Maybe?)" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
[Mechanical pencil on reclaimed cardboard with minor digital embellishments.] We think this is a photograph of a dreaded MONK-mallow, the result of a sick genetic experiment that tried to bridge sweet, tasty, camping treats with religion! We hope it's NOT one of those awful creatures...but it sure looks like it! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Phone Head (Warp Glitch)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photography, moshing, and primitive animation created with my phone.] I'm not sure how I took this picture... But once the image ended up on my phone I went to town, tweaking, moshing, warping and many other "ing" words, until I ended up with this little video. I haven't looked this young in AGES! Ha ha ha ha haaaaaa! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Visitor (Rainbow)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photography, arachnid, moshing, and rum...] I've been hanging out in the backyard lately working on arts and stuff. Today, a little spider came crawling up next to me on one of the outdoor folding tables. I assumed it wanted to be photographed, and then I ran the photo through the moshinator and came up with some fun images. This is one of them. AND THEN I drank too much rum and decided to do a FLASH ARACHNIC SALE!!! I'm making 13 editions of this piece and I'm practically GIVING THEM AWAY at 0.013 #tezos each! Whoa!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Antique Resistors" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over old digital drawing made with a free app on my phone.] Can you truly recycled digital art? I'm trying. This is the third or fourth piece that I've "painted" over the top of a previous piece. I enjoy the process! These two travelers are facing a burning wind, but they'll keep moving... They MUST... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - This piece is my newest (almost) FREEBIE art! I'm making 23 editions, and I'm giving them away for (about) FREE! (Technically, they will cost 0.0023 tezos each, but that's less than a cent, USD... If my math is correct...and it's probably not. I'm not good at math...or spelling...or keeping track of time... I'm not that good at a lot of things, but I have some FUN making artz!!!)

"Games Kids Play" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] I grew up in a rough neighborhood. This is a true story... (And, honestly, the "KLANG" of a rock hitting those old-school metal trashcan lids was VERY satisfying...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Visit Exotic Locations" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Chalk pastel, gel pen, felt pen, and colored pencil on construction paper AND digital collage, digital drawing, and color manipulation over a "found" cc0 toter image.] Marcotic provided a photograph of a toter on holiday at the beach as said, you know, "Do what thou wilt," or some shit, so I did! Now, this is a brochure for an imaginary, exotic location where even the trash is colorful and exciting! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - LONG LIVE CC0!!!
