"Frappe of the Mind!" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
So... I've been arting in several different dimensions lately, just to see what the atmosphere tastes like outside the HIVES... BUT I've also been doing the SUPER NIFTY, NFT SHOWROOM, as well, cuz it's the place I'm most comfortable and most at home!
Let's start with the HOME TOWN excitement...

"Good Fortune Mosh!" by RFY (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 13
[Digitally manipulated photo that I took with my phone, then moshed and embellished. Then I BLESSED each edition of this piece with HOLY FOOL POWER to help bring good fortune! Don't BURN any of these, though, or the potential energy will be released causing astral and psychological fires and, possibly, flooding.]
SMILE, BY THE GODS, OR BE DESTROYED!!!! (So blesses THEE, dear buyer, by the HOLY FOOL!)

"Hell Missile Mask" (Low-ku NFT) by RFY (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 5
[Digital poem, in the sense that I scrawled the poem, digitally on my phone.]
Some of you may not know this, but I'm one of them ACTUAL PUBLISHED POETS. (I was even a POETRY EDITOR on a couple of different books!) But then, thanks to a head injury, (I was struck in the melon by a tiny meteorite, which fractured my skull and left radioactive space residue in my pineal gland,) my poetry has gotten....strange... The FORM of this poetic NFT is what I call a "Low-ku," which is like a low-brow haiku! It's in haiku format (5-7-5 syllables), but the CONTENT of the poem is decidedly low-brow, pop culture related, or nonsensical. I've even made Low-kus out of meaningless gibberish, which still works if it fits the 5-7-5 pattern... (Do you care about any of this? Who knows... This is really just a "true confessions" description! Ha!) This is certainly not the first poetry NFT out there (I think even I've already made some), but it's certainly the one that I am publishing RIGHT NOW the most! Enjoy!

"Scratch" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 1
[Crayon, wax pencil, and felt pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishment and color!]
Little Bird meets a mountain spirit! (I don't know what "scratch" has to do with it, aside from the fact that Little Bird's scratchy feet might have scratched the ground---which ended up being the mountain spirit's head.)

"Along Came a Spider..." by RFY (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 1
[Felt pen on paper with digital embellishments.]
I think this is a spider... It MIGHT be a marshmallow with French fries stuck in it. (I'm not one of those people who demands that viewers interpret his images in a specific way. I LOVE alternative takes [so if you have one, particularly an off-the-wall interpretation, feel free to share that with me!] Like Ray Johnson [the Pop Collagist,] for me, the artwork doesn't end with the completion of the image. These are jumping off points for stories, either mine or other peoples. Stories are just as important as....blah blah blah...) (I got bored...) Ha! It's a spider...

"Ask the Angels" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 1
[Various brush pens, metallic markers, paint pens, and liners on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments.]
In this piece, a strange thing happens to a young person out taking photographs in the sun... For reasons only her therapist might understand, her camera begins to take images of not just the world she can see with her eyes, but the spirits residing beneath that world, as well, which are always there but usually invisible. There are demons, a spirit bull, and the true nature of the sun is revealed to her, too (it's clock-work), along with an astral-projecting imp seeking a deeper connection to nature---or a flower for his sweetheart... After taking some ibuprofen when she returned home, shaken but excited, the spiritual connection was broken, and the camera was just a camera from that moment on...

"Poor Thomas" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 5
[Ballpoint pen on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.]
This is a surrealist / nonsense comic, made on the back of a chunk of donut box! I filled it with wild inaccuracies and lies. Enjoy! (But don't get eaten!)

"Nothing Over There" by RFY (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 1
[Digital drawing made with Paint. Paint is still my go-to!]
It doesn't matter where I put this sign... It's probably right. (Ha!) (This is not meant as intentional commentary or meanness on my part, just me being a weirdo.)

"Off Limits" by Richard F. Yates (HF)
Collection: NEW GENESIS
Total Edition(s): 1
[Sharpie and paperclip on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color.]
This bunny is looking for a strong light source so that he can make shadow bunnies (probably to entertain all the children in his head who are just waiting for something to laugh at!) Just be careful where you look for your light sources, bunny! Some places are OFF LIMITS, even for a freaky bunny monster!

All of the pieces above were minted in the last SEVEN DAYS (don't answer the phone if it rings!) over at NFT Showroom! I use that site more than any other because there are no gas fees, the people who run it are funny and helpful, and it's on HIVE (so I have a lot of them little HIVES floating around to spend on things like minting and buying other people's artz!)
One thing I would like for folks to notice about my artz is how consistent it is... HA HA HA HA!!!! Oh! I kill me... Consistency ain't the game I'm playing. I'm more of a "WHAT-THE-HELL?" artist. I say, "What the hell" when I make stuff---and most folks say, "What the hell?" when they see it! Cool...

Next up on our adventure is a couple of trips to PARTS UNKNOWN!!!

One of the new platforms that I gave some attention to, on the Tezos chain, is called Hic et Nunc. Here's what I minted there:
OBJKT#45810
TITLE: "In a Cave (Stalactites)" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Edition of 5. (I put 4 up for sale, and there is 1 edition left as I write this.)
Beware when going underground... That's where Stalactite Mike likes to hang, and he's not the most friendly monster under the Earth...

And, after chewing on my nails for a long time (not really, because I'm a germ-o-phobe and wouldn't put my fingers in my mouth, even though I work from home AND wash my hands a dozen times a day), I finally decided to give OpenSea a try. (It utilizes the ETHEREUM chain...so there are gas fees to contend with. In fact, it cost me nearly $50.00 USD worth of ETH just to "SET UP" my account! Shit....)
"Special" by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
Edition of 1
[Ink on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments and color. 2020.]
This little monster's mom always told him that he was a special little guy! (But don't get your fingers too close... He IS a monster, afterall...)
xxxxxxxxxxxxx
There you go! Artz are oozing from my brain and fingers into the interwebs and making it all GOOEY! Ha!
This has been post #26 of 30 in the April #hiveblopomo challenge. Only THREE MORE POSTS and I'm thirty FRICKEN CLEAN!!!! Wooooo!!!
