“WINTER IZ UP!” by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

It’s almost reset time. I need to decide what I’m aiming for in the NEXT ERA... (That reminds me that I need to back up my laptop. I finally found my portable hard drive, so I CAN do the backup, now. Good!)

So what’s my theme for the new times?? I don’t know, yet. Need to start CONCEPTUALIZING!

Meanwhile, I’ve got 24 cubic tons of artwork sitting on this computer waiting to be published. I should get on that...

"Trash Can (With Eye)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Digital drawing created on my phone.] This is trash art. Plus, there's an eye on it (for some reason. I had a bit too much RUM last night. Sorry!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Thankful (21 Nov. 2022)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] I am grateful for my friends, collaborators, collectors, and many inspirations who exist in this liminal space we call CYBERTOWN, but I have stopped doing regular FREEBIES (to help those who are into PERCEIVED VALUE feel more comfortable with my artwork.) Instead, I am opting for a SINGLE, larger editions piece (101 are being minted) for a minimal price (0.0023 tezos, which is currently less than a penny in USD...) The piece (which isn't too bad!) will be available thru BLACK FRIDAY, but come Saturday (Nov. 26th, 2022), the unclaimed editions WILL BE SACRIFICED to the FIRE GODS!!! (They love these types of artz!) So if you want one, you've got about four days! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Field of Dreams (And Nightmares)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen and liner pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Human lives are lived throughout the human body (and the body lives in the imaginary worlds of the mind.) Have a cookie... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

P.S. - Part of the SATURNALIA SALES EVENT! Starting at 3 tezos, but goes up to 13 tezos after Dec. 31, 2022!

"Zombie Dragon (Draggin' on Again)" by RFY (HF) & FEH (TT)

[Gel pen on reclaimed cardboard with paper and cardboard collage AND minor digital embellishments.] Here's one that I drew a few months ago, and my granddaughter, Felicity, had a crack at it after I thought it was done. As usual, her contributions made the original look like a dollar store piece of junk (cuz she has ENERGY!) I then took the collab drawing, glued it to a postcard (with some other paper bits added for texture), and dropped it in the mail! (BUT IT CAME BACK!!!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

P.S. - Part of the SATURNALIA SALES EVENT! Enjoy!

"Pastel Trauma" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] It was unbelievably painful to watch. Eyes caught fire left and right, and the remains needed a spatula along with that stretcher... (But SOMEONE was amused by the whole thing...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Well... Looks like I’ve come to the end of this post (since I’m certain that you’ve got some fun stuff that you’re just about to go do!) There will be more ARTZ soon, of course, so keep your peepers open! LATER!
