I'm officially on break (from the university) until after the FOOD holiday. Mariah has to work two days this week, then she's off, too. Meanwhile, I'm watching the granddaughter is a few hours, so that my older daughter can get some more handicrafts created for a holiday bazaar coming up this weekend. (She makes hand dyed and screen-printed hand-towels, resin bookmarks and keychains, and stickers. The younger daughter is making hand poured and decorative candles with fancy smells. We are a family of MAKERS!)
Speaking of making shit, here's some of mine!

"Her Idea!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon, pencil, and ballpoint pen on colored cardstock with digital embellishments and color.] This strange flame-haired creature is picking up psychic messages. He knows this wasn't HIS idea, it was HERS... But who is she? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Do You Believe in Monsters?" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Crayon on notebook paper with digital embellishments, color, and moshing.] Maybe you believe in monsters, and maybe you don't... But if you believe with all of your liver and pancreas, we CAN make these monsters real! (I hope your liver is still functioning... Mine is pretty good, I think...) Monsters are what makes life worth living! Or some bullshit like that. Ha! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Bending Over Backwards" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with a free app on my phone.] Garfield McStroodle was so angry, so completely furious, that he... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Me - Shocked" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
[Digital drawing created on my phone.] This is a self portrait created for some reason. I don't remember why, but I was shocked about something, and I tried to capture that sensation in digital drawing cartoon form. Success? Failure? Who cares. It looks funny (to me, and if I'm amused, maybe somebody else might be, too.) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
P.S. - Not sure why my eyes are rectangular. That happens sometimes!

"Lo-Fi (Eye)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Pencil on notebook page with minor digital embellishments.] Accidentally poked a hole in the paper while enthusiastically drawing this floating eyeball. That happens, sometimes! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Unrelated to art, but important nonetheless: DONUTS ARE AWESOME. That is all... Now back to the artz!]

"Tentacle Low-ku" by RFY (HF)
[Digital creation / conjuration manipulated into existence via my phone!] For the #HiveBloPoMo challenge ("Hive Blog Post Month" - writing 30 posts in 30 days in November of 2021), I am not only sharing a new piece of artwork or photography AND writing a post, I'm also writing a new haiku every day of the month. (It's EXHAUSTING! Forget lifting weights or running a mile, try counting syllables every day for an entire month! My brain is totally buff, now!) Enjoy the poetry / art. (I think it's fun...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Bathroom Beast" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing over photograph of the monster in our bathroom.] It just sits in there and cries, waiting for someone to draw near... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Are You Dead Inside?" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created in MS Paint.] This is an old piece, created in April of 2013 for my blog at that time, The Primitive Entertainment Workshop. This image has never been released as an NFT...until NOW! (Be careful, though. I think this piece MIGHT be cursed...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Low-ku Cat (and Bonus Nonsense)" by RFY
[Digitally modified photograph of Minerva the cat, plus words and digital drawing.] I think this piece is self explanatory. Therefore, I will explain something else, instead. Whales are not fish. Neither are they fish-sticks. They are, in fact, giant balloons with teeth. They are also psychic, but they don't like to talk about it. Ask any clam. They'll tell you. ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Abstract (Deep and Dark)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with my phone with mosh manipulation.] I was looking through my psycho-scope, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Land of Forever, but my calculations must have been off (by a personality or two.) Instead, I seemed to have stumbled upon a dark personae traveling through the astral landscapes. When staring into the void, as we've all heard, don't let the void stare back. (That would be bad.) I shut my scope off as soon as I recognized what I'd spotted...but did I close the visor in time? (I'll let you know what sort of dreams I have over the next few nights...and if you don't hear from me again, assume that I didn't shift my attention away fast enough...)

"Beard Guy (Full Night)" by RFY & FEH
[Felt pen, liner pen, paint pen, and crayon on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and colors.] A hoot of a compilation between my granddaughter, Felicity, and me. In a slight change of our usual method, I drew the strange bearded man (who is wearing a night cap and, possibly, sleepwalking), and then Felicity drew the odd, floating emanation that seems to be following our somnambulist on his night-time trek. (Fun!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson!

"Pulse" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created on my phone then brought to life using unholy MOSH juice!] I don't know what's happening here, but I know it hurts my head. Don't stare too long, or it will OWN you.... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Let's do some poetry! (Here is my Low-ku for today's #HiveBloPoMo challenge...)

Wack a doodle doo!
My fingers travel by boat
To lands far far away!
That's it! I'm done for the day! Later weirdos!!!!
