"Spider-Face" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Photo collage with digital embellishments, layers, and color.] Photos taken with my phone and then manipulated in a no longer supported, free app. The spider is a friend of mine. The face used to be me. The bloodshot eyes are metaphorical...

"Help with Sanity" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with minor digital embellishments.] We have EIGHT cats. That's about 7 or 8 too many. One of them, Ralph, is registered with the Demonic Employment Office as my official TORMENTOR. He is very good at his job. Small furry creatures can be unholy terrors... (P.S. - Do you like Pink Floyd?)

"What's Today?" by RSRW & Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, brush pen, liner pen, and hand-torn-sticker collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] Riot and I explore and experiment with minimalist, pop-culture memes and cartoon hallucinations. We are pirates on the Seas of Dreams!

Because I'm so silly, I started a new blog. I only have one "friend" on the platform, and I don't actually know them, so I'm technically writing for NOBODY. Nobody is a great listener... (Metaphorically speaking...) Here's what I wrote today:

"Dark Entities (And Other Codes)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Symbolism is for the symbol-minded...

"Eclipse of the Brain" by RFY (HF) & RSRW

Riot and eye make a page from a Halloween color book glow in a black light! FANCY! (I think it's fun. Documenting our REAL LIFE creative adventures!)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Un-Sun-Fish" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, gel pen, brush pen, paint pen, crayon, tape, and paper collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] What is the deepest ocean of them all? (Define "of" first...) There's always something creepy swimming in the darkness...

"Notebooks from Beyond the Edge" by RFY (HF)

I write and draw in notebooks constantly, probably because it allows me to ignore the world around me! HA! This is one page of (LITERALLY) THOUSANDS that I have constructed in my life (THIS TIME AROUND...)

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I used to have a ZEROONE.ART profile, but I don't remember the sign in junk for it. I started a new one. Why not??

I dropped a fresh batch of FREE ZINES at Cafe Guse on Commerce Ave. in Longview, Washington, this afternoon! Grab a couple before they EVAPORATE!!!! (Did I mention that they're FREE???) And grab a coffee and a donut while you're there!!!

I don't know what it's for or who's using it or what the point is, but here's yet another social media platform that I signed up for... WHY? I don't know... Nope... Don't know...

"Baby Knows the Numbers" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen and ballpoint pen on reclaimed paper with digital embellishments and color.] The little ones suck up the knowledge so quickly. It's inspirational to watch!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Zingers are Evil" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Emptying the entire contents of my brain (from the three most contiguous dimensions) onto the page, plus some digital colors! Weeeeeee!!!

I don't know why she swallowed the fly...but it was pretty gross...
