"CONSIDERING..." by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

I've decided to rerelease my 2010 ART BOOK as a #cc0 #pdf work, in addition to my poetry book, NIGHT NOISES. This work, CONSIDERING..., is essentially a book length (40+ page) collage. It combines writing, poetry, paper collage, painting, photography, and several forms that I don't quite understand (even though they came out of my fingers) into a bizarre, odd-ball UNIT... Let me know what you think! In addition, feel free to remix, pilfer, fold, spindle, and manipulate. That's what CREATIVE COMMONS is all about! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Angry Sing" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments.] It's a ritual site. I haven't built it in the real world, yet, but in the dream plane, it's a towering creation used for projecting creative energy into the cosmos. Handy to have around! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Badly Neglected Air Filtration" by RFY

[Colored pencil and liner pen on paper taped into a gigantic, can't close anymore notebook, with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] It's like expression, you know? Like I'm expressing something with the movement and color. Heavy... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Grim Grim Grim" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Was It Fun?" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, brush pen, linter pen, and packing tape on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color tweaking.] Handmade postcard. Not sure what happened to the original... I either sent it out or it's in the stack waiting for postage... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"Eat (Nope)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Felt pen, paint pen, colored pencil, paper and cardboard collage, and tape on construction paper with digital color tweaking.] It wouldn't APPEAR to be an abstract, but it might be. I think this creation exists in the realm of Dada or Merz poetry... I think... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

Today, Mariah put together our annual HALLOWEEN BULLETIN BOARD for the dining room. (I helped a bit, but I'm pretty lazy, so she did most of it!) Here's a photo of the collage:

That's all I've got for this episode. It's been a heck of a week - stressful, sad, uncomfortable, and unpleasant. We had tragedy and mental anguish to deal with, so I didn't get much creative work done. (I've always got SOME excuse, don't I...?) I'm hoping that, someday, I'll get back to full productivity... Keep those tentacles crossed, folks! We want WEIRD ART! We want WEIRD ART!

Later, alligators...
