"Thistles in the Mind's Eye" by Richard F. Yates (holY fooL)

Hey folks! Back with more nonsense! Actually, today, I'm feeling the BUSINESS vibe, which is odd. As I mentioned recently on the TWIT platform, I've been a punk-type, anarcho, atheist, humanist since I was about 16 or 17 years old (back in the mid-1980s), so I'm usually pretty terrible at the whole MAKE MONEY thing. I'm not opposed to eating or paying bills or even (on rare occassions) buying new socks, but I've never really been the type of person who tries to make a ton of dough with my art. But, as the world turns, I've decided to start taking the economic element of this game a bit more seriously.

This is not to suggest that I don't still hold to my absurdist principles (laughing in the face of the void), and there will still be many MANY places for people to find my artwork and writing for free, but the NFT game... I'm going to start being more SHARKY in that arena. (As I've also written before: "If I don't value myself highly, who is going to do it for me?")

This will probably please the wife---who, to be fair, has come on-board with the whole art thing lately. (VERY supportive!)

Anyway, here are some "free to taste" arts and words. If you're a COLLECTOR, feel free to visit the "buy it now" page (if the piece you like hasn't already sold) and snap it up. If you just want the entertainment, ENJOY!!!

"Skully Kid Dance"

[Ink on paper with sticker collage, digital embellishments, and digital color. Animated with a free app on my phone.]

Skully Kid is pretty dang happy (for a dead guy.) He's thrilled to shake a leg and rattle those bones...

"Haunted (And Hungry)"

haunted and hungry (peg).jpg

[Ink on cardstock with sticker collage, digital embellishments, and digital color.] I made a Halloween card when the granddaughter was here. She loves ghosts. (And so do I!) This particular ghost is a graduate of a prestigious law school...who died as part of a tragic fraternity prank! He's making the best of his afterlife, but he is a bit HUNGRY (so steer clear!)

"Weird World"

[Ballpoint pen on pocket notebook page with digital embellishments and digital drawing.]

Two true stories demonstrating the HORROR of going outside. Outside where THE PEOPLE are... Sometimes they just do strange things, but other times, they commit acts that are truly evil (like singing a Beatles' song so far out of tune it nearly cracked by windshield!) I try as hard as I can to avoid being amongst THE PEOPLE...

"Bot"

[Ink on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.]

Bot is an artificial intelligence unit with multi-dimensional travel and tracking functions. He mostly likes to stay away from Earth. (I don't blame him...)

"Setting Up the Get Down"

[Digital drawing.]

Either this party has gone off the rails, or this is a pair of weirdos performing a summoning ritual that requires breakdancing! (That's some ADVANCED magick!)

"Stranger"

stranger.png

[Liner pen on notebook page with digital embellishments and color.] He comes to you in your dreams and whispers odd stories of floating cars, meals in pill form, and teleportation. He is a stranger from an alternate timeline in which we all still believe that the future will be BETTER than the present. Then, the nightmare happens. You awake to find that you're still living in THIS reality and not the Stranger's...
