"FREEBIES for Funzies!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Not too long ago (a couple of months, maybe...I'm terrible with time), I started giving away artwork for ZERO TEZOS. These have been limited print run (I think they've all been 23 editions), and they've been greeted (MOSTLY) by happy collectors. (I can think of at least one that, even for FREE, nobody wanted it - so I burned the unclaimed editions before releasing a new freebie...) This experiment has been a blast! (Much more enjoyable than my brief foray into auctions, which I hated.)
Here is a BRAND NEW FREEBIE (released Sunday morning, 12 June 2022)...

"Bunny (Under Stress)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments, drawing, and color.] Clearly, beyond the shadow of a doubt, anyone can see it - this is a self-portrait. The bunny is having some struggles. (Uprooted and spinning!) But at least, if nothing else, he still has his ARTZ! (Right?) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - What you are ALSO looking at here, besides the confession of mental instability, is the newest FREEBIE ART! Neat!!! 23 editions being created and released for right about ZERO TEZOS each! Grab grab grab!!!
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I don't recall EXACTLY how many freebies I've done at this point, but it's quite a few, and I try to put my favorite pieces up for "sale" (for nothing) when I do these! Here are some (most) of the pieces that I've done as freebies, so far...(besides the Bunny just mentioned above...)
"Apocalyptic Bullshit"
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Give a Hoot..."

And I think that's most (if not all) of the pieces that I've put up for free on Teia.art... Many of these works are still available on secondary (for less than one Tezos, which is a good price - if you ask me...) Here's my Objkt.com gallery, if you want to give it a look-see! (There is a lot to laugh at there; I would argue that it's worth the click-thru!!!)

Now, let's look at some NEW stuff!
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Shawbeep (3D)"
[Felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments, color, and moshing!] Okay, folks! Grab those red and blue glasses and prepare to experience a Shawbeep that has somehow landed in the...dun dun DUUUUUNNNN... THIRD DIMENSION!!! (Strange!)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/384
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Lucky Lawless"
[Ultra-fine-point Sharpie on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Semi-abstract monsters are people, too! (Originally drawn back in 2017 and shared on my Primitive Entertainment Workshop blog. Never before tokenized as cryptoart - until NOW!)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"End of Line"
[Ink on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] I saw TRON when I was just a kid, and it was one of the most amazing things I'd ever seen. Still a great film, unbelievable synth soundtrack, wicked colors, and the MASTER CONTROL PROGRAM... Incredible... Who else remembers the immortal words, "END OF LINE." ???
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/385
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Gruff"
[Ballpoint pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] He may LOOK gruff, but Bixby is quite sensitive (on the inside.) Unfortunately, his CLAWS are on the outside...
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Howling Lizard"
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint on my old, ass laptop.] This guy can S.I.N.G.! He's not JUST a lounge lizard, but a howling blues-punker, as well... (Like Jon Spencer, but not as scary...)
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/386

I will now show all of you folks (reading type peoples) some artworks that I've COLLECTED!

Let's switch back to my work for the final piece in this post, eh? (You cool with that?)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Is It Art? (Underworld)"
[Paint pen on arm with digital embellishments and moshing!] This piece, obviously, represents the blemishes that can accrue on an individual's psyche! It's a vile, vulgar piece and I apologize for exposing you to it...
https://objkt.com/asset/KT1ABGYuE84UQNDJdWtMEhiBi6yhsfTQ7W56/387
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
That's it! I'm done for tonight... Maybe I'll do more stuff tomorrow... (If I have the mental energy!)
