Lady Madonna, children at your feet. Wonder how you manage to make ends meet! (Beatles were good. I know not everyone agrees, but jeebus...)
Here's a bunch of STUFF!

"Totally Hypnotized" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on reclaimed (damaged) cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking!] It's not so much the CONTENT that destroys the brain, it's the CONTEXT! Now with XK-7 Pro-Lux added! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Like 13 Pages About Thinking" zine by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Seems to me like it's time for another ZINE! This time, I went with 11" by 8.5", landscape style (which is weird, but that's kinda my thing...) It's 13 pages (plus a cover) of my arts and writing, going all the way back to 2010...2008 maybe? If you're a collector, you can download a printable PDF copy from my Patreon page, here for a measly $3.00 USD!:

However, if you're just interested in READING the zine, you can do that, FOR FREE, here:

In addition, should you be into TEZOS, you can grab one of the 13 editions of the CRYPTOART version for a meager ONE TEZOS! (GOSH!)
Here's a sample of what's inside the cover:
Let me know if this type of thing is FUN, and maybe I'll make more of them pretty soon!!!

"Fashion is a Feeling" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen on end paper of one of my journals with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] I don't feel qualified to comment on this piece, even if I drew it. It's an UNSOLVED MYSTERY... (The meaning of the piece is...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Quasi-Unreality" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, mechanical pencil, and glitter pen on paper with digital embellishments and color.] Time, space, size, and speed are relative...almost immaterial from certain perspectives... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

I read a great article recently by Maxwell Cohen (check the article here: https://museumofcrypto.substack.com/p/mc-confessional-the-real-world-is ) called "M○C△ Confessional: The Real World is Failing Crypto Art." I won't spoil the whole thing because it's worth reading, but the point is that crypto art doesn't quite mesh with the traditional, money driven, auctions and white wine type of art scene. I rarely do this, but I actually posted a response to the article: "Fantastic. I agree particularly with the punk / boisterous / making shit in real time / joking all the way attitude. Artists shouldn't feel like uncomfortable outsiders at goddam ART events!" Something to think about!!!

"Not Subtle" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing created with MS Paint on my ancient laptop!] Hey peeps! I just put hundreds of multi-colored paper brads in my order list so that I can make a bunch of weirdo books this summer out of reclaimed cardboard and found papers. I love making books, even if nobody ever sees them. Ha! I don't actually SHARE much of the "ART" that I make. (I think I have about 200 unphotographed "finished" drawings just waiting for me to not be lazy...) This drawing, above, is something I put together as a "cover" for a Patreon post, I think... Who knows. My memory is FULL of holes! (I've forgotten WAY MORE than I'll ever remember that I forgot... Figures...) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Psychic Dragon" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, paint pen, gel pen, and glitter pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] You can only see the Psychic Dragon with your eyes closed! (Tricky!) ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Does Any of It Make You Happy?" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital collage with digital drawing created with a no-longer-supported, free app on my phone!] It all depends on how you PERCEIVE it. Can you CHOOSE to be happy? Can you make yourself enjoy the show?? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"How Many Imaginary Critters Can You See?" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Felt pen, gel pen, paint pen, metallic marker, glitter pen, and colored pencil on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] How many imaginary critters can you see? (It's a trick question. NONE of these critters are IMAGINARY... They are psychic, meaning they only appear in the mind, but they aren't MAKE BELIEVE, like made up stuff like politicians, the Pope, or Popeye... These critters are THERE, even if THERE is only in the mind! Make sense??? ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"MUSIC SHOW 3" (Audio Collage) 16 Mar. 2024 by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Howdy party people! Today, I think I'm in an "easy listening" mood, but MY easy listening might not be the same as other peeps'. The world SHOULD BE ready for it, but I'm a terrible judge.
The intro noises are me turning on and winding up my hand-crank radio. I love this groovy device, but what I was going for was somebody turning on a radio, scanning thru channels, and finding this weirdo pirate radio broadcast... That's what I was going for! (AUDIO COLLAGE!)
PLAYLIST for MUSIC SHOW 3!
Approx. 47 minutes (Warning: There are some cuss words, especially in the final cut...)
---Intro
---T99 - "The Parkers" (1992)
---Tubeway Army - "Are 'Friends' Electric?" (1979)
---Quando Quango - "Go Exciting" (1982)
---The Tornados - "Telstar" (1962)
---Dorkweed - "And the Devil is Glad" (1999)
---Dario G - "Sunchyme (Radio Edit)" (1997)
---Velocity Girl - "My Forgotten Favorite" (1992)
---The Cure - "Mr. Pink Eyes" (1983)
---The Webb Brothers - "Low Grade Fever" (2000)
---The Dead Vampires - "A Bat Bit My Ass (On the Way to the Store)" (2004)
---Bratmobile - "Kiss & Ride" (1992)
---Ed Harcourt - "Beneath the Heart of Darkness" (2001)
---Nuclear Family - "Jane Fonda" (2007)
DONE!!! If you enjoyed any of these songs, please consider PURCHASING a copy (physical or digital) especially if the performers are still alive and need to eat! The streaming services are totally convenient, but the artists get next to NOTHING for peeps just listening. We've got to make sure we support the ARTISTS!!!
Speaking of support, don't forget to check out my PATREON page!
https://www.patreon.com/richardfyates
I have tons of art and writing up there that you can enjoy for FREE, but if you want to drop a couple bux in support, I'll allow it! (Maybe grab a zine or two!)
Later!!!
