"Spinnin' 'Round (Deep Fried)" by Richard F. Yates & Felicity Echo Hanson
[Felt pen, oil pastel, sticker collage, glitter glue, and tape on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] "Spinnin' 'Round" is one of my favorite songs by the postpunk / goth band, RED LORRY YELLOW LORRY. This collage, which is a collaboration with my three-year-old granddaughter, Felicity, is a feel good, action, splatter piece. I enjoy it! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool) & Felicity Echo Hanson (Toddler Terror)

"Insane Chaos" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ultra fine point Sharpie on paper with digital embellishments and color scrubbing.] I wrote this YESTERDAY, and it might already be out of date. Now that I've been given an invite code to the FANCY PLACE, do I even need Nostr and/or Mastodon??? Who knows... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"If Art is What You Love" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] I'm into wordart. Slogans that make stupid, insipid little points for people to look at and go, "Huh... Whatever." Fools do stuff like this all the time! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"How Many Problems Can You See?" by RFY
[Ultra fine point Sharpie, mechanical pencil, felt pen, and brush pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.] A psychological overload symbol, which this demon ghost is judging VERY harshly. Let him have his grumpiness... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Eat the Rich!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Ultra fine point Sharpie on paper with digital embellishments and color.] When baking THE RICH, I like to go with a low temp for a long period of time. I make a marinade with rum, lemon juice, a little bit of brown sugar, and a hint of rose water, and I let the MEAT soak overnight. (Maybe a little less time, if the police are already on the way...) Bake on 325 for at least three hours, until the internal temp is at least 170 degrees... Serve with chips and PBR or a milk shake... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Sad Pixel Eyes" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
[Digital drawing and pixel art created with a free app on my phone.] Someone on the evil-bird-site claimed that they were going to unfollow anyone who posted any more pixel art, so I sent this image to them... They didn't unfollow me, but I have since stopped using the bird-site. I am old, and I want my conscience to be clean when I meet that giant, soul eating crocodile! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"When the Sweets Kill" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Late-ish at night on Saturday. I'm sitting in bed, but not sleeping, yet. Mariah is still partying with the young peoples in the other part of the house (not the bedroom.) Tomorrow is Sunday (which makes sense...) I'm hoping to get to spend a LOT more time sharing artwork to the various cryptoart platforms after I wake up tomorrow... (If I could figure out how to share artwork BEFORE I wake up, I'd probably do that, too...)
