If you could, perhaps, take a moment to look at my links at the bottom of this post, that'd be KEEN! I have nixed the ones that I don't use often, and I've written little explainers for the ones that remain so that looky-loos will know what they're gonna experience should they choose to click thru! I haven't been taking the online world very seriously lately (partially because my two-year-old grandson broke his leg, so I've been trying to stop him from walking with his caste, tripping, and breaking ANOTHER bone! Survival mode, you know!) However, I'm thinking I might make an effort to reconnect with the FICTION that is WEB-LIFE, once again. Even if it's just an illusion, it's a comforting illusion, and I think I deserve to have a few of those, just like everyone else does! AM-I-RITE???
So, yeah. If you're looking to connect, unless you're just trying to sell me something, do it! DO IT!!! Ha!

"More Than Wolves to Worry About" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, paint pen, and colored pencil on black paper with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Cosmic alignment, viral blooming, idiots with power, bombs on the wing, AND the wolves at the gate... I'll take the wolves...

"Don't Eat the Visitors" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Riot Shane Rowdy Willard
[Felt pen, gel pen, and sticker, paper, & tape collage on paper with digital embellishments and color manipulation.] Collab collage with my grandson! I wish he'd do these with me more often, or if his cousin, Felicity, would through down some colors with grandpa, but they're both too cool for school, now! (Plus, "Don't eat the visitors" is just good advice!)

We've been doing a LOT lately, and some of those activities have developed into ghostly IMAGES that appear in the PHYSICAL WORLD thru ELECTRONIC IMPULSES... What I'm trying to say is this: We took pictures of US doing stuff! Wanna see??

"Darklight" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, crayon, paint pen, and sticker and paper collage on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] The plan seemed reasonable...but it started to go wrong almost instantly. The twenty seven brave crew members will be missed... Let us ALL hope the lessons, though difficult to process, have been learned...

"Slam Cursive" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen and gel pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] Poetry of motion and lines. The movement is the key, not the "finished product." SLAM! Then, perhaps, SLAM again! It's all "HIGH ART."

"EEEK!" by Richard F. Yates (hOLY fOOL)
[Felt pen, gel pen, crayon, paint pen, and metallic marker on cardstock with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Art inspired by nature. In other words: I was sitting outside while drawing this one! (Rare!)

"Oh Crikey!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
