Sunday as I write this, although most of the typing below is from the last few days. (I do everything in fragments.) (So do you, although you might not know it.) (Perception is a weird thing...) (Think about it. You read a NOVEL, and unless you finish it in one sitting with no interruptions, then you’ve experienced that story in fragments. However, your brain puts these bits and pieces together to form a complete narrative...) (Brains ALSO do this with things that AREN'T meant to go together. Sometimes, that's fun. Usually, though, it's just BAD...)
So, Sunday... It seems to happen every week.
But let’s get to some artz. That’s why we’re here, right? (Not obscure philosophy or other nonsense...)

"Not a Negative Reality Inversion" by RFY & FEH
[Crayon, felt pen, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard over colored drawing board.] The drawing on cardboard is by me (RFY - Holy Fool), and the background is a drawing table that has been graffitied by Felicity Echo Hanson! Amazing? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"X-Ray Spider" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photograph of a little, jumping spider taken with my phone then digitally processed, run thru the MOSH machine, and embellished to make it as freaky as possible.] Trans-dimensional, psychic photograph of a spider-like entity from the 23rd plane of existence! (Her name is Layla.) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Hopscotch" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)
[Ink on notebook page, layers, digital collage, digital colors, and sidewalk chalk on concrete.] This monster is playing a modified game of hopscotch that was invented by Felicity Echo Hanson and me (the Holy Fool)! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/571

"Wild Dog" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing and layers created with my phone!] This dog is SO wild, he might need to be apprehended by the authorities!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/572

"Make art." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[This was a Twit that I Twitted yesterday along with a work in progress photo of a piece that I'm almost emotionally prepared to put up for sale.] Some unsolicited advice from an old grump! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/573
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Me? Worry?” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Sharpie on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments, layers, more embellishments, more layers, and some digital drawing, just for flavor.] This is supposed to be a slow-pan-zoom close-up of a weird figure standing on the edge of a cliff (over a sea of carpeting) with his head on fire and a bunch of curses following him. The zoom is meant to show, despite the "thumbs up," that the creature IS definitely worried. (This piece is in no way autobiographical.) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Super-cheap artz time!!! I'm making 41 editions of this freaky piece and releasing them for only 0.013 #tezos each! The unclaimed editions (if there are any) will be fed to the FIRE GODS as soon as I'm sick of looking at this critter's face... Enjoy!

“Another Bug” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] I've been spending a lot of time outside, lately; (it's a "sanity" thing.) And while ensconced in the backyard, I've seen more than a few BUGS. They're EVERYWHERE! Look! There's another one, now!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/575

"Going to Pot" by Richard F. Yates (HF) & Felicity Echo Hanson (TT)
[Gel pen and felt pen on notebook pages with digital embellishments and color.] Collaboration is the name of the game! We draw, color, and create, my granddaughter and me, to help make the world a more interesting and entertaining place! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

"Goblin Walking on Lava" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Saturday. Started the morning with a coffee & donuts run! (Woooo!) That gave me the energy (sugar and caffeine) to get up and running... Or up and crawling, anyway...
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Psycho-Artifact Bulletin #5" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Photos of old artwork plus words and thoughts and a selfie and a bunch of other junk. Mostly words, I guess!] Does it pay to be subtle with the Universe, or does "Fortune favor the Bold?" I'm primarily interested in having a good time... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

“Infra-Red Fingerprintz” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Some ink and other bullshit on a hunk of reclaimed cardboard with a bit of moshing and other digital shit. You know how us artists are now-0-days! We let the computer do everything for us!!!] Spooky and weird and a little hypnotic. It's not moving, but maybe it is a little bit. The ghost is getting a bit dizzy... Woo! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/579

"Brand New Ocean" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] Yes. I AM flooding the world with cheap, low-effort, nobody-wants-it ARTZ, but that's just because I'm trying to make a new OCEAN! I want to go ART-SURFING over cryptowaves while the whales splash pointlessly in the distance! Fun! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Upsidedown Eels" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Graphite stick on child's writing paper with digital embellishments and color.] I'm still trying to figure out how those eels, as happy as they are, can survive without water! (Maybe there's an underground stream in a cave just below the crust? I'm no geologist...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
